It's going to be a long fire season.
This afternoon the Bonny Doon fire started up. It's many miles from my home, and our volunteer fire department hasn't been asked to send equipment to it since if we did there'd be no one to work any new events in our area, but it's still a big incident and I've already had a couple of calls and emails asking if we are OK, etc.
So, once again, I thank everyone for thinking of us. We're fine, and it's hard to imagine that this fire could even get near us. But there are evacuations as a result of this fire. People are definitely affected.
At the current rate I can't imagine what August and September are going to be like.
