Luckily for us, this time the fire is west of us and with the Santa Ana winds, it blew it to the west, so we don't need to worry, I hope. But with the winds that we have around here we are never really sure until the fires are all out. They have called in all 6-C130s that the military has for fighting fires to help out. They will have 34 fixed wing bombers and 40 helicopters working on the fires in Southern California. They are saying that it will be November before the fires are completely out.
Supposedly there is a 747 that has been made into a bomber that can drop 30,000 gallons of fire retardant.
THAT would be something to see. I've seen that plane on TV, but never in the air.
Hopefully all will be well.
