Fire Update

As of today, the Station Fire, which is the one burning near us, is still less than 50% contained. It has burned over 150,000 acres and is still going. We got a little break in Pasadena today with a shift in the winds. This means the smoke wasn't blowing our direction for a change. I read today that they are getting smoke all the way in Louisiana! The fires did get down pretty close to the city again the past couple days but the fire crews did an awesome job keeping it at bay. They set some backfires to try and stop the flames from spreading in Arcadia and Sierra Madre, both cities east of Pasadena. The air quality is still pretty crappy so we've been keeping the kids indoors. I try to get at least get them out of the house for a little while in the morning before I go to work. But looks like they are starting to get a handle on this thing and hope for full containment by the 15th or so. Hopefully sooner so the air clears out and the kids can get back outside to play!
