My home in So Calif is in the Antelope Valley. I have to go through Acton & Aqua Dulce to get anywhere from where I live. Mountains all around me. The Santa Clarita fire 3 years ago landed me in the hospital for 10 days from the smoke. It caused an asthma attack (& I never had asthma before). The Valley Fever is a serious issue with the fires around So Calif....especially where the fires haven't burned in years.

Piru had a beautiful old victorian mansion that is used in movies & for weddings & social events. I took a tour of it with an interior design class I was taking. It had burned down to the ground in one of the fires around Piru. The wildfires are horrible especially when they get pushed by the strong Santa Anna winds.

Take care.....most of us live in the city....miles away from the mountains that are actually burning (except for a few that are able to enjoy the mountain living) but the smoke is very dangerous too, as LizardL8y said.

Take care all So Calif residents,
Debbie
