Closest wildfire yet

Unseasonably hot (95 degrees), ash settling on the car, smoke in the air... and it's still only April.

(From the LA Times)

The hills above Sierra Madre are on fire. For those who have visited us out here and want to know how close that is to us, Sierra Madre is just north of the horse track (and our hospital). It's also just east of Callie's favorite dog park.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be a big one. And there aren't dozens of other fires in the area, so resources can be concentrated.
