Remember the picnic I had with my family last Thursday?  The beginning stages of the Station Fire was our backdrop. I’ve been sleepless since.

Smokey Bear Says Fire Danger is “RIDIC” Today Saturday, August 29, 2009

Filed under: News, Videos — Ritzel @ 10:17 pm

I’m a little nervous right now.  There is a fire–The Station Fire–continuing to burn in my neighborhood and has become threatening enough to warrant mandatory evacuations.  My best friend’s family was already asked to vacate.  Funny, I was on my way to meet her for lunch earlier today when I stopped to take this picture before hopping into my car:

I started packing, too, in case the fire, which was just reported to be inching closer towards residential areas, decides to infringe on the already uncomfortable 2 to 3 mile space between us.

The Foothills have seen much better days, but here are some amazing photos and beautiful captures from a distance of what’s been going on here since Wednesday.

Stay safe, everyone.
