You know it's fire season when....


It still isn't daylight at 4 in the afternoon,

There is ash on the hood of your car, and everywhere else,

It smells like campfire INSIDE your house,

The kids start wondering if the fires meet in the middle would it burn our house down,

There are fire crews all over town from all over the US,

Your husband has to work overtime to install 25 temporary phone lines to all the crew camps in town, (not to mention DSL)

We have two really bad fire's that are pretty close. One has been burning for a few weeks but the other is in the Piute mountains and is really bad and really close. It makes it look eerie outside. I took some pictures but for some reason they won't upload, I will keep trying. It reminds me of when Jim and I were first married and he worked for the Rio Bravo Hot shot crew here in Lake Isabella. He worked SO hard and for not a lot of money. Here is what the Bakersfiel paper says about it.
