kengrA junkyard (auto wrecker) caught fire Monday morning. It was a mile or so away. Went to 5 alarms.
Lots of *nasty* black smoke from tires and car interiors (all those lovely plastics)
I didn't find out about it until I turned on the news at 4pm. Turns out we were a few blocks inside the "shelter in place" area.
There was an area much nearer to the fire that was evacuated.
I went to the store anyway (hey, I *literally* live next door to it).
Later around 9:30, while Fay and I were having our usual Monday TV night, Fay's roomie called her. Seems they'd expanded the evacuation area. she was going to head to the shelter and wanted us to go too.
I checked online and we were actually outside the evacuation area. Predictably the roomie didn't care. She called and texted several more times.
I just closed the windows and endured the temp in the apartment going up to 80.
When I got up today, I saw that it was raining. Air was much better./ and the news tonight said that the air quality was back to normal. Evac order dropped.
