Box Canyon Fire


Box Canyon Fire.
Fall means that it's fire season here in Southern California, and with today's Santa Ana winds, it's starting off with a blast. My friend Grady took this photo from his front door!

The Ventura Fire Home has some information on this fire, as does blogging.la. The LAFD has a blog, too. The guv'mint makes some large fire tracking information available online, too, although the current fires don't appear on any of them, yet:
Even though the fire is nowhere near my house, my apartment smells like smoke and the power has been flickering all night.

If you find any other good SoCal fire information sites, or links to news stories about this fire, please leave them in the comments!
