We have wildfires a lot during the drought season in Florida and the smoke can be suffocating! Glad you were never in real danger. God bless the souls of the firefighters who lost their lives, and watch over those who they left behind. What a fitting tribute! You have a wonderful heart! <br /><br />PS: Can you really see the Hollywood sign from your backyard?
