As of Thursday evening the El Dorado Fire has burned more than 19,000 acres and is 66 percent contained. More than 3,400 residences have been evacuated, and more than 26,000 structures are currently threatened by the fire.
The fire, which was sparked on September 5 by a firework from a gender reveal party is located east of Los Angeles.
My heart goes out to the firefighter’s family. They were simply doing their job to stop the spread of a fire that was unintentionally set by someone else’s carelessness.
Be sure to this blog to thank all the brave people who are currently risking their lives to put out the fires in California, Washington, and Oregon.
