Fire in our mountains!

‎07-16-2013 06:53 PM

Hi all. We're watching a huge fire in our mountains (San Jacinto Mountains above Palm Springs). God bless fire fighters! 700 of them have been working even overnight, along with tanker planes and helicopters, to keep it from coming over the mountain to our town of Idyllwild. About 800 acres burned so far, and the fire action is now headed for the outskirts of Palm Springs (much evacuation there). Thank heaven the wind didn't change direction overnight! We'd have been goners. All of us have gone through our homes and picked up precious items to be saved and drive off the hill. Cars were loaded last night.

We're very very grateful to firefighters, who risk their lives. For photos and videos of the fire, see towncrier.com.
