Los Angeles Wildfires 2008

This is a pic of the wildfires just a smidgen North of Los Angeles that have burned 3,200 acres so far. One of L.A. Mama's best friends, who is also the boys babysitter lives in this area (Sunland). We are watching this fire closely and keeping her and all of her neighbors in our thoughts.


The 210 is shut down in both directions between the 118 and the 5. The eastbound 118 is closed at Glenoaks Boulevard. The 3,200-acre blaze has forced 1,200 residents to evacuate. Go to the sidebar at the right for up to the minute feed of Los Angeles Wildfires 2008.
