I agree.. I’m in California.
FWD: From Friends who are in Northridge.

“Absolutely top of the line professional firefighting!!!”
“I've never seen such a well orchestrated emergency mobilization”

“ The fire has been contained with these incredible firefighters we witnessed today. Please understand we are directly across but on the north ridge of the valley. Hence the name Northridge. 

We are in a pocket of clean air as the winds are gently blowing to the ocean. All day, the air fleet dumped retardant all along the ridge line.

 The smoke billowing this afternoon was intense and frightening  but we knew that it looked worse than it was. As It was the sea breeze at sundown that pushed the smoke up. 

As the sun set, the glow of the fire finally reached the  Mulholland road fire line. 

The whole city with batted breath waiting to see if it would hold.

 By the grace of God, the line held, and thus, the fire was unable to crest the hill and began to burn itself out as the fuel was spent. 

Absolutely top of the line professional firefighting!!!

 They have also maintained the line in Topanga that protects the town center and Carmen's house and Grace Potters house

 The winds are in our favor for about another 12 hours to make a lot of headway. They are hitting hot spots immediately. 

Even though we are not out of the woods yet, I've never seen such a well orchestrated emergency mobilization. Once they had time to get it all together.

 We are all breathing a collective sigh of relief, but remaining vidulent .”
