Do any of our members live near the California wildfires?
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine.One of the fires is a few miles away from me, but none of my properties are in immediate danger right now. The heavy winds are even blowing the smoke out to sea, so if it won't for the news, we wouldn't even know.
My friend's place burned to the ground though. Nothing left. They are devastated.
That's my friend Dave!So sad. I have several friends that live in different places with the fires. They have been evactuated and my friend that lives in bel air is at a hotel right now waiting it out. I am east from the fires but wow, it was windy.
These poor guys... glad they were able to get them out of there! http://www.latimes.com/local/califo...rtoises-and-turtles-1512518098-htmlstory.html
Tom - is that the Dr. with the Galops?? The one you just helped evacuate the last fire earlier this year??That's my friend Dave!
Anyone heard how the Behler Center is doing? One of the fire is within blocks of their place last I saw.
WOW! I just checked and they have evacuated many and over 20 endangered species - and last night an currently have 20 firefighters stationed at the center to try to keep a perimeter!They had a Facebook post yesterday saying the fire was within 20 feet of the center. About an hour ago they posted a video of what looked like a structure burning from a neighbors property.
The Dr. is one friend and the guy with the galops is another. Both are safe as of now...Tom - is that the Dr. with the Galops?? The one you just helped evacuate the last fire earlier this year??

Wow. Stay safe! Hope they can put out the fires so you and your family can go back home! California is on Fire!! Not in a good way either. this is terrible..The Lilac Fire in San Diego County is a few miles north of me. We did have some smoke and ash fall here. I spent last night and most of this morning helping family and friends transport horses, and other pets, to the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Should I bring them inside until this all goes away?
Question, I decided to study out in the backyard with the torts today and I noticed that I can smell the smoke. Its not a crazy amount, just noticable. How harmful is this for my tortoises? Should I bring them inside until this all goes away?
