I'm within walking distance of two of the bigger ones - I'm currently watching the Simi Valley/Chatsworth fire out the window at work as it is trying to cross the ridge of the hills half a mile away (our boss's house is currently "at high risk", she's been evacuated since last night), and I'm involved twice with the San Bernardino fire - I live at one end (in the ash trail - we've had the house buttoned up and STILL need to mop so bad it hurts)... they've had a command center set up at the In-n-Out around the corner from us, but from everything we've seen/heard/smelt, it seems that end is going out.

The other side isn't so rosy either - the faire that provides my band with it's stage for our biggest gig is in "evacuated" country, and from what I've seen the fire's nicely squeezing that area at the moment. With the other major faire in CA that the company that owns 'my' event runs closing this season, this would NOT be good news...
