I see that there are some mandatory evacuations of La Crescenta. You and Anne Marie and the critters had better not stick around till you receive a mandatory evacuation notice; by then you'll be fighting with 10 million other people trying to leave. (I have personal experience with this.)
Stay safe, George! Stuff can be replaced.

The Station Fire is now estimated to be 105,000 acres. The fire is spreading east and north with some northwest spread. Firefighters are making some progression on the NW edge of the fire. Small scale firing operations to help in suppression efforts are taking place north of La Canada Flintridge and Glendale. A hotshot crew and engines from Glendale Fire Department and LA County are reporting that they are experiencing success with the mission. 65 personnel have been pulled back from Chileao Flats for safety reasons. Crews, engines, water tenders are working in the Mt. Wilson area.

The highest ridge straight above us has about eight communication towers. I just watched them all get taken out by flames.
