Frazier Park threatened by fire - By N.L. Belardes
Nearby Frazier Park is a beautiful mountain community. Closeby, the few remaining wild Condors soar above the forest canopy, many with a wingspan of twelve feet.
But are they safe?
Fires have been raging for about two weeks in the mountains near Frazier Park. Today my sister informed me that the fire is getting a little too close. "We've packed our bags," she said. "Two weeks ago we packed because of a fire near here to sort of go through the motions. That way the kids could learn to choose what they can and can't bring. I think we've all learned. Our bags are lighter this time."
I asked if the fire was for certain going to rage into Frazier Park. She said, "Let's hope the wind changes direction. We're getting ash."
Her husband said, "It's smokey up here. The kids have to stay indoors. No outside playing."
I asked my sister what her plan might be, that I read online that the Frazier Park Community Center was open to provide shelter. "Well if it's open, nobody told us. If it gets to where we have to leave, we'll come to Bakersfield."
I don't have a big house, but I would enjoy the company. That's family. -n.l.

Wow.Big prayers out to the family bro. Call if you need any help.
I hope your sister and her family will be alright and the fire goes a different direction so they don't lose their home.
Sending good thoughts their way...
Wow. Those Santa Ana winds are a bitch, aren't they? I remember last year my friend who lives in Torrance, CA said she would drive to work and basically drive next to the fires from last year. Obviously she wasn't THAT close, but it seemed like it.
