I have been outside watching what I think is 4 different water-dropping aircraft circle the area, drop that red fire-extinguishing stuff. Pretty amazing work they're doing. I'm going to add a link to you in my fire blog.

What a great compilation, Ben. It's remarkable, isn't it, how Pasadena area bloggers are so on the same page and yet reporting on this in unique styles.

ben wideman said...
