Another Year, Another Fire...

2003 it was the ridges north of Simi that burned. This year it's the south.

Last night the primary freeway into Simi (118) was closed due to this fire. Having to take the back way into Simi, it only took me 3 1/2 hours to drive some from work... :|

Needless to say, I took a personal day today.

During the 2003 Simi fire I screwed up and didn't grab any pictures. Well not this time...

Here are some pictures from the 2005 Chatsworth fire. The fire runs along the entire south ridge of Simi. All of these are from my roof or front yard and are a mix of south east, south and south west directions.

Blogger's picture upload appears to be broken, so I've posted the pic's to my MSN Spaces blog.

Luckily we're in absolutely no danger, as the fire is heading south/south west (i.e. away), but it still looks a little intense.
