Last Tuesday there was a fire

Even from our house there was no smoke or fire visible, anyone near Whittier could see the smoke billowing over the hill. Cindi noticed that the helicoptors were rotating through Leg Lake, so we decided to go take a look for ourselves.

There were 5 of them, taking turns dipping into the lake and filling up through their straw.

And flying back over to the fire that was actually in Hacienda Heights.

  1. I saw the Hacienda Heights fire on the news up here after it was extinguished. How big did it get and where was it precisely?

  2. I think 80 acres were burned around Turnbull Canyon Rd, but all the houses were okay.
