Saturday was definitely one long and eventful day. From the Fires, the Toyota Museum and back to the fires...it was definitely a crazy/sleepless Saturday night for us.

Chino Hills around 11am.


Pretty weird sight, but the DC-10 making it's rounds at the fires.


The DC-10 coming back to refill and refuel.


Looking south towards Corona in the evening.


Smoke rising over the ridge.

Fire is getting closer.


The winds pick up and blows northwest toward Carbon Canyon.


Fire finally reaches the ridge summit.


The flames reach for the sky.


The fire quickly makes it down the ridge towards the houses.

The wind carries the flames and embers into the air.


The flames torch the power lines and causes it to light up and create a small explosion.


What an exhausting morning.

The pictures that Ryan took were from my balcony off of Butterfield Ranch.

It's unbelievable how close your homes are. I'm glad that no one got hurt. Take care of yourselves and good luck with everything.
