The fire was in Oak Glen a popular Apple Farming area with a little village and lots of small ranches and apple farms. People go up there this time of year for apple picking. It's a quaint beautiful little area.
The first photo is a picture of the park beyond those gates where a couple had a "gender reveal" party by lighting a smoke bomb type thing that puts out blue or pink smoke for the gender. This sparked a fire that quickly ran up into the mountains . This couple must feel terrible that their gender reveal party caused a fire like this.
(Laura thought u would like to see it )
We went up yesterday to this area to see how it looked. The fire burned a total of about 25,000 acres and only four homes - So that is good news, although sad for the loss of 4 homes.
The Bobcat fire on the other hand, a huge fire closer to Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountain area burned 90, 000 plus acres.
We haven't had our typical Santa Ana winds here in our mountains so that's been so nice not to have to worry about fires around here.
