Fire Watch

We noticed a puff of smoke on the hills behind us last night at sunset. Helicopters were picking up water from the lake across the street and dropping it. Kind of a restless night, and a smoky morning here.

UPDATE: It's late afternoon, and a big cloud of smoke overhead is turning the sunlight orange. Bits of ash are raining down, but so far the fire is staying up in the hills. That area hasn't burned for decades, so there's plenty of fuel, which means this won't be over any time soon. Pray the winds stay calm and humidity up.
