West Fire

My pal Heidi (dpty chief heidi!) came by one day and took me up to the West fire. We had 2 major fires this summer, the West near Tehachapi and the Bull near Kernville.

The West was far worse, destroying 30 homes. The Bull burned about 5 or 6 homes, though, so it was no picnic.

We went up to watch the helicopters and I got my friend, Alex the photo editor, up in one. He got some great shots.

The Gov came by this day to declare Kern a disaster area. Why we need the gov to tell us that, I don't know...ha, funny, get it?





Very nice.

Ever been to a media frenzy? It's fun. And this was pretty tame actually.

There he is...the big man! Um....in a manner of speaking

Arnie and Heidi...

This is Swenson. He's been with us for a thousand years and is set to retire in January, which will be bad for us but good for him!
