As of Wednesday night this fire, which began last Thursday afternoon, was finally starting to become less intense as the winds have begun to die down.
Sadly, hundreds of homes have burned down and at least a few people were unable to escape alive. Many of the canyon roads (including Topanga - which we use almost daily) are still closed and PCH has limited access available to residents only.
It's amazing how large this fire has been. This story reports the size is 150 square miles - the size of Denver, Colorado. The smoke has been tough to deal with and now the charred hillsides will be especially vulnerable to mudslides if it ever rains this winter.
