Santiago Fire

About a year and a half ago, when I worked in Irvine, CA, I went with a fellow named Scott Simpson to Red Rock Canyon. Today the Santiago Fire, one of the many wildfires so common to Southern California reached that canyon.

Scott's house is marked on the map below. The red area is the fire's spread. His house survived.

He sent me some pictures taken from the house:

Smoke from the fire before it crests the ridge. Compare to next picture.

The fire once it has started coming down the canyon.
