Well, we appear to have quite a few fires around us. All of them were started by the thunder and lightning from the other day. So far, Burney is safe and sound; however, the nearby lake, Lassen National Forest, Hatchet Mountain and other local areas are struggling with fire management. The two plumes of smoke you can just about see in this picture are from a fire in Shingletown (about 50 minutes away) that caused a trailer park to be evacuated.
As a result of all the smoke in the air, Hayden and I spent most of the day inside the house with the windows and doors closed. Shane spent the morning in the woods (don't worry, he was in a safe area - away from the fires!) and the afternoon in the office. Hayden and I went and hung out with him at his office for an hour or so late this afternoon.
I'll keep you posted about the fires...but don't worry - we are safe!!!
