Jeff is fine. All Fjord folks and friends are also good. Fire in Orange
Co. has flared up again and a big header is now comming from Mojeska Canyon
area.....right up the hill from Jeffs Fire Station in Tustin. Homes going up as
I write this. This is very bad as this canyon is right next to Silverado,
never burned in recorded history. Temps are supposed to be 100 * today, not
counting where the fire is. Horses in large stable right on Santiago Canyon
Road
evacuated of course......all of them are now at Orange Co. Fair grounds. They
wont let people with animals into any evacuation center, so everyone with pets
along, are living in their cars with family and animals. This includes all CA.
evacuations, now totaling 300,000. Makes you think about what you carry in your
vehicles. Many with 10 min. or less to get out.....finding pet carriers,
food, water for animals, let alone PEOPLE is impossible.
After a good nights sleep, he is itching to get back out there. This
time with his regular crew he hopes. Says he needs to keep an eye on his
Captian, but I think its more about his new Fire Truck ! Waiting for a release
from
the Dr. to return to duty. No fast relief in sight for temps or winds today.
Everyone today with horses that do not load in trailers quickly, go
practice. Everyone who drives around ( or your teenagers ) with cars under a
quarter tank of gas, go fill up. Sounds stupid....but people are running out of
gas and running for their lives. Many " local " gas stations closed in CA. so
people stuck with no wheels. Evacuation centers being evacuated again because
fires burning into areas not thought threatened yesterday.
Thanks for continued e-mails of support. I told Jeff about all of the
Fjord folks checking in and he was amazed. I am not overly worried about
him....hes been doing this a long time and he is no risk taker like some of the
rookies. I just feel terrible about those losing homes right now, pets,
separated from family. Go hug yours..... Lisa
