Good thing I left the house very early this morning. This was the view heading south on the 405 with a fire that had just started near the Getty Center in Brentwood.
The wind started howling last night before we went to bed and we're expecting fire conditions all week. We've already been keeping an eye on nearby fires that have left us with some very smoky air.
These two pictures I took from the house last Thursday. The first is smoke from a fire in Santa Clarita and the second from another fire that broke out much closer to home but was handled pretty quickly fortunately.
We're lucky that so far the winds and flames are not nearly on the scale that they are in Northern California right now but as long as the wind is blowing there's always concern.
Aimee's boss called her before she left the house and advised her to work from home today.
