None of these fires were or are of immediate threat to our family.
The Carstens and Aspen fires did not destroy one structure. Those firefighters are amazing.
The Aspen fire did lay a smoke blanket down for a couple of weeks. The air is clear again.
The Rim Fire looks like an atomic mushroom cloud. That smoke is blowing northeast towards the Reno area.
