On Labor Day a fire started and is still burning. Yesterday it was
32,000 acres, burning through a lot of Los Padres National Forest wilderness, including the condor habitat. Then came hot dry winds that pushed it westward. It is now over 90,000 acres (almost tripled in size in less than one day). Manadatory evacuations are in place. We won't have to be evacuated, but we do have all the smoke/ash. I am house-bound due to it, and not doing much talking. My lungs are burning from the air quality, and using my Albuterol inhaler as I can, and have a raging headache. this fire is called the "Day Fire"The sun is a glowing red ember in the sky.
