Wildfire

Wildfire
It never stops...this area has burned dozens of times and still the people come back to it. When the Spanish first explored the Los Angeles basin, they named the bay, Bahia de Fumar, the bay of smokes...In 1957, I was with a friend, sneaking past the firelines in Malibu Canyon so that we could get a better view...In 1974, we were living in Newbury Park when the fires exploded in Sand Canyon and then marched across the valley and into our neighborhood. It will stop as soon as they pave it all over.
