Caution: Fire Danger

Since Sunday morning various areas of Southern California have been on fire.
Sherman Oaks doesn't appear to be in any immediate danger however you can hear fire engines racing by and you can smell the fire in the air. I can actually feel it in the back of my throat. There are warnings not to do outdoor activities and to stay inside with your AC on. The temperature is expected to reach 100degrees today, so that won't be a problem for me.

I'm keeping up to date on the fires on the LAFD's blog and you can, too, here.
