Was your wife alarmed by the fire? I guess it would have been some distance above.
Indeed about the global warming palette.
Yeah. I think I was more alarmed than her because she called me in process and I only had my knowledge of the road and an overwhelming concern especially hearing it over the phone. The fire was close to the road and there's nowhere to escape on those narrow roads if the traffic is locked. Not like on the freeway where there are multiple lanes in two directions. I've experienced that once but it was being contained.
She was on a one lane road each way. They're roads carved out of the hills which are too steep for any vehicle except on roads. And these fires can spread super fast down here where it's dry scrub. Anyway, she had just passed the fire before they closed the road. They apparently got it put out before it got away from them. Cheers to the firefighters around here. But it's scary as hell because it can and does get away from them enough that it's always a real thing.
