I'm note sure if this info is making the national news or not, but we've had another fire here on Camp Pendleton today. This is the second fire on Base in less than a week. This one, the Juliet Fire, was a bit more destructive, and caused several Base housing evacuations, as well as evacuations in many of the surrounding civilian housing developments (non-Base housing developments). Fortunately, our housing area isn't in danger at this point. The fire is still burning as of 10:33 p.m., and has burned over 2000 acres at this point.

The first two are shots of the fires burning behind our house (about 3-5 miles away at 6:00 p.m.), and the other two are of the sunset looking out at the Pacific from the hill behind our house. That's smoke in the air, not regular clouds. Despite the destruction, it's a pretty awesome sight.
