Brush Fires

Banning California.September 1,2009.As I am writing today, brush fires are still
ravaging portions of California mountains.

From the North near the capital city of Sacramento and to the South within a 15 minutes drive from downtown Los Angeles and to the East at Oak Glen near our very own backyard we could see the smoke covering the sky. September is suppose to be the end of summer season in the West and we are anticipating a high degree of humidity.Almost every day we are prompted with blistering heat of the sun.

The weather is so troubling that most older citizens here are commenting that they did not experience it in the past several years.

This phenomenon is a natural occurrence all we need to do is to keep alerted and be
mindful of anything,like matches, lighted cigarettes that might trigger a fire on dried grasses on an unexpected time of the day.Specially on those who are camping and exploring the parks and open spaces or rest areas. Till then bye
