I just saw the concern in the other thread...I live close to the ocean so am ok. Our area is not impacted other then a fire last week in the national forest that was put out after a couple days.One of my friends there was able to keep their house and yard hosed down and not catch fire. These other fires in L.A. areas can be quite intense. They happen every year.
ya, we have had smoke on and off from large fires burning for days...so that the sky was hazy and the sunsets very orangey red...fortunately no smoke for us yet.
