Today was the first day we didn’t have a new fire break out causing evacuation orders. Those of us living in or near the various mountain ranges have been running from fire assaults on all sides since Tuesday. It’s like we’ve been playing evacuation musical chairs. Palisades Fire has crept up on us and remains a threat but fire crews are doing an incredible job keeping it from crossing their barrier. Big difference in smoke between 11am and 3pm today. We’re still not out of the woods. Flare ups keep happening and new fires can break out in these coming days, but these fighters are doing great.
