fires to the north of us fires to the south of us...
Here I am...
I just decided to do some late-night lab grading and went out into the desert night to my car/office to get my bag. I know there's a hundred-acre uncontained wildfire quite close to the south but there hasn't been a concern with buildings, residences, etc. Off to the north I can see ridgelines outlined in flame glow. The Dept of Forestry website shows a new fire in Kern County, couple thousand acres. A bit further north there's a fire about ten times that size, west of Death Valley, the Clover Fire. I'm not even sure which fire I'm looking at. Next county over, smaller; two counties away, bigger?
