Arrowhead Fire

Well, what a week. It looks like we may be evacuated. There are three fires in the area. The girl's schools are closed. Twin Peaks has just had a mandatory evac - they are just above us. We are watching the tree line behind us which so far is just billowing smoke. We are told when we see flames to go. We have our valuables packed in the loaner car, which we are so greatful for. The ward and neighbours are checking on each other. People are packing their cars. The wind is swift. We are told that even if they don't evac us that they will probably turn off electricity, water and gas, not making it much fun to stay. In the event that we leave we will try to make it down to Heidi's (Franz's sister). If you need to reach us we will have several cel phones with us - try 909.496.7875 Good Luck!
