On the Monterey Peninsula this week, the Big News is still the Basin Complex fire. On Wednesday, Chris and I headed South into the belly of the beast, to help a friend evacuate his house. We spent the day packing up valuables, moving furniture and wetting everything down. We shoved off just as the Fire Dept. and Sheriffs were coming up the road to chase everyone out. As of today, the fire has not reached the home, and appears to be moving more inland, but fingers are still crossed. Lots of emergency vehicles (including 7 helicopters with buckets) were working the area. Scary to contemplate, but amazing to see. Firefighters are badass, real life heroes. Hug your local hoseman today.
