Mostly we stay inside as much as possible. Particular care is taken with the elderly and children. The schools and daycares are sometimes closed, but most often eliminate outside playtime until the smoke dissipates. Back in 1998 and 2007, there were evacuations, not for fire threat, but due to the intense smoke. I hope it doesn't get that bad this time.

Thanks again for your prayers for rain. That will help with the fire and for the rest of us, clean the air.
