Fire got close...

Here is a shot of the hillside just to the east of my office.  The hills are normally brown this time of year but are charred black.  You can also see a red line from the flame retardant.

I haven’t checked the county websites but I’m certain Whiting Ranch, a popular MTB area is closed as that hill is part of the park.  Fortunately no homes were lost in this fire, just brush which will rebound in a year.

Did they beat it or did the wind change direction?

The fire is still burning but I believe they are just protecting structures & letting it run its course. It’s about 5 miles away and moving away from me. The Santa Ana winds have died down which is slowing its spread.
