I reside in Southern California about 35 miles from both the El Dorado Fire and the Bobcat Fire.
Yesterday the El Dorado Fire claimed the life of a Firefighter.
The wildfire continues to burn in the San Bernardino National Forest, forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes in mountain communities.
Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers.
Even if we are not in the evacuation area, the smoke, ash, and air quality is fearfully unhealthy. Some are relying on medical grade-masks indoor their home. Going outdoors is out of the question.
Here's what we know about the blaze so far today:
THE BASICS
Acreage: 21,678
Containment: 66%
Structures destroyed: 4 homes, 6 other structures
Structures damaged: 2 homes, 4 other structures

The Bobcat Fire continues to grow in the Angeles National Forest as the firefight enters its 13th day.
The blaze has been rapidly spreading north, prompting new evacuation orders and warnings for communities in the Angeles National Forest and foothills near the High Desert.
Here's what we know about the fire so far today.
THE BASICS

Fires are also raging in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington.
Stay Safe.
Please Remember: Fires become deadly in only a matter of moments!
