Well, it has been absolutely awful here the last few days. I live about a mile from one of the large command posts for the Station Fire. The park is a tent city of fire, ranger, and police personnel. The air quality has gotten worse over the last three days with yesterday and today raining ash. Two firefighters have perished during this fire defending another camp that was overrun by flames. They now say full containment might (might?!?) happen by Sept. 15. It is awful. My class spent the day writing to the firefighters and I dropped them off at the command center. I was surprised to see other community members there dropping off water, homemade food, letters, clothes, and gifts. Very nice to see some outreach here in Los Angeles.
