Smoke...

The Valley Fire is burning for the fifth day about 25 miles east of us.
So far it has burned 17,565 acres / 7,108 hectares and is 11% contained. 11 residences and 25 outbuildings have been destroyed.
The fire is being fought by 93 engines, 14 helicopters, eight water tenders, eight air tankers and five bulldozers, as well as over 500 firemen.
Lack of strong winds have made this a much less dangerous fire than it could have been.
As you can see from the photo taken on my morning walk, the air quality is terrible.
