It has burned over 250 square miles, destroyed more than 60 structures (including homes), and killed two firemen. The fire was determined to be arson, so their deaths are considered homicides.<br /><br />Your kind words are well said. I met some firemen who had been working up in the mountains and they really do care that we are thinking of them.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870637687443697270.post-7060772305623827142009-09-19T01:12:06.768-07:002009-09-19T01:12:06.768-07:00God bless them!

I hope your brother and his family are doing okay and are safely back in their home.<br /><br />I did only one post on the fire here, before we knew it was going to be a big one. I blog daily at http://pasadenadailyphoto.blogspot.comand posted a lot about the fire there as it grew. It sure became a big deal.<br /><br />Nice to meet you through Italo!

Nice by the way! I found you over at Italo's! Oddly, your post on the fire caught my attention... my poor brother, wife and dog were evacuated for days. They are up in La Crescenta in the hills. I grew up there... graduated from LCHS!!! Such a small world even on the World Wide Web! Those Firemen have always been amazing through all the fires!!! We used to bring them food during the Starlight crest ones years back!

Worried about our friends and neighbors there. I'm tempted to go see what I can see but know it's best to stay out of the way. I might go back to the dam with the new Canon and see if I can get some shots.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870637687443697270.post-412297133226087232009-08-28T11:09:54.738-07:002009-08-28T11:09:54.738-07:00The last shot must've been tooken at the same ...The last shot must've been tooken at the same time I was looken from over at El Molino and Maple. ugh.Patrizzi Intergarlicticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047084173908563600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870637687443697270.post-65718841004144253812009-08-27T22:42:17.506-07:002009-08-27T22:42:17.506-07:00J tooken that.

I've just finished my PDP post and I feel like I've been taking pictures and posting all day. (Not that I mind.)<br /><br />Amy--no kidding. It's a case for running the AC 24/7, thought that probably does the atmosphere no good.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870637687443697270.post-53550246003095579802009-08-27T21:40:30.910-07:002009-08-27T21:40:30.910-07:00The helicopter is so tiny - that's some perspe...The helicopter is so tiny - that's some perspective for you.

The flames have crested the ridgeline, occasionally shooting high into the air as a large tree ignites. Cars were stopping on the side of the freeway to watch the spectacle. The fire now looks worryingly close to some of the higher houses in La Canada - fingers crossed the it doesn't move toward them overnight.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870637687443697270.post-11472045877033289442009-08-27T20:57:41.251-07:002009-08-27T20:57:41.251-07:00I took'n thet!I took'n thet!John Sandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149954535616537207noreply@blogger.com
