Sadly, our fire season is early in California right now. My aunt and uncle were evacuated last night. They could smell a fire, but it didn't seem 'that bad'. My uncle used to be one of the guys that jumps into the middle of fires, so he luckily knows how quickly those fires can turn into a big deal. They were talking about getting things together just in case, when the firetrucks showed up and said they had to evacuate immediately. They had a few minutes to grab a couple of things and leave. Their house is in a 'hot zone' right now and hasn't burned as of 4pm.
So scary, but...
People in Monterey are awesome! Many people who have Air BnB's have offered up their places for FREE to people who had to evacuate. They are in a house in Pacific Grove right now. Yay for wonderful people!
Those fire crews are doing an phenomenal job battling the fire!!

So frightening! I hope the firefighters can get it under control and that people are safe.

It sounds familiar, was there a fire there last year or the year before.
Hope the fire season is short, no property is lost, and no one is injured or killed.

Oh, that would be so hard and so scary. I hope their house will be safe.
