This is the second fire in Yucaipa this month. The other one was at the upper end of town and quite a bit farther away from us. These are pictures taken from our back patio. This fire just started this evening and was already about 200 acres tonight. It is a little farther away than it looks but still too close. I think it is probably about 1-2 miles away from our house. Please pray for the firemen as they work to get this and many other fires out.
