You would have to shut the windows for a while so that kind of smoke does not get inside and give you a headache or any other problem. Hope it all gets sorted out and they can put it out without any further damage.

I can't imagine how hard it is to not be overcome by that much smoke nearby.

How awful. We had smoke here for a long time. It is no fun. Hope you get past this okay. Maybe some face masks would be of help.

Oh gosh, Hatley . . . when I heard about the OC being on fire, I thought of you! I saw on FB that the skies over Disneyland is orange. The air quality isn't good for sure. Hope you are safe where you are!
