Santa Barbara Fires

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Santa Barbara impacted by this latest wildfire.   The devastation is impossible to even imagine especially for us not living with it each day.   Santa Barbara has sure had more than its share of wildfires lately.  I hope this one will be the end of it for years to come!

For those who have been concerned and calling, San Luis Obispo County has not been impacted.  The fire has not come as far north as Morro Bay.  You can see smoke in the air in Santa Maria area but not much north of there.  

For those who live in San Luis Obispo County, please make sure to protect your homes by trimming the native brush, grasses, etc that grow close to your homes.  Our area is dry and we have been very fortunate that we have not had any major forest fires for quite a number of years.  Let’s do our part to do what we can to prevent them! 

Which means - I need to go weed whack my hill…..   Off I go!  Practicing what I’m preaching!
