• Vegetation Fire

I was told about a fire west of Gruwell near Almond at about 3:50pm. I got to the corner of Walnut and Orange and the street was blocked off. 

The corner of Orange and Walnut were blocked.

The fire was never out of control and [at least] four trucks knocked it down in short order. 

Looking south down Orange, from Walnut, with maximum zoom on my Sony video camera.

I only live a couple of miles from there, but didn't see any smoke in the sky as I approached the area (always a good sign compared to the other option).

Same basic view at mid zoom.

I stopped my car at the corner of Orange and Walnut, parked at My Garage Advanced Transmissions, then walked over and chatted with CSO (Community Service Officer) Roxanne Jouglard; that's where I learned that it was a small vegetation fire.

The wide angle look shows off an American flag flying with the breeze.

Thankfully no one was reported to be hurt. 

Imagine that if I take the job of blogger seriously
how seriously I'll take being on the city council.

Wildomar Rap is still undecided on how high to set the happiness meter... though often it ends up on 11.
