I have to say, I am quite impressed with their actions today.
You may (or may not) have heard that we had a pretty good brush fire up in Rancho Palos Verdes late this afternoon.
That area is canyons, brush, and multi-million dollar homes. Being on a peninsula, there are very unpredictable winds. We have not had a bad fire there in many years, so it was ripe with fire danger.
I drove over to the fire area a while ago, and was a little concerned because it was windy as hell up there. I went to the edge of one of the canyons, fully expecting to see it glowing if not blazing. I was amazed to see just a couple hot spots, but nothing that could be considered a danger.
I talked to one of the battalion chiefs and learned that no structures had been lost, and there were no injuries (that he was aware of).
So, I just want to say thanks to them, and job well done.
