zaca fire in santa barbara county

have you heard about it? the zaca fire in santa barbara county's back country. in this tiny part of the world serious fires have been burning for a couple of months now. the fire dumped ashes and smoke on the area with evidence still seen on some cars. rancho osos animals, where sabrina herded sheep, were evacuated.

the fire is contained (meaning still burning but under control) now due to the thousands of hard working firemen on the front lines and off. Off line meaning, sometimes I forget about the crews communicating with the public about the fires. they're the ones holding town hall meetings, answering phones, coordinating with the red corss, and posting bulletins, all to prevent widespread panic and rumors.

feeling safe, such a thing i take for granted sometimes because it seems to come so easy here. i count my blessings.
