There’s a 100+ acre fire burning in the Angeles National Forest. We just drove home from visiting our friends who live in Agoura and saw the flames and area that is burning. It is the Chantry Flats area above Arcadia and Monrovia. You can clearly see the flames from Sierra Madre.
More to follow. This fire is going to require air support first thing in the morning. The terrain is not going to make a fight on the ground very easy.

Show dates have been selected to be after summer vacation and prior to the Holiday Season.
In fact, 50 is the new 30, 60 is the new 40. Therefore, the baby boomer generation, as a whole, is very receptive to ideas, products, and services that will help them deal with the challenges and joys that come with their longer lifespans, and their various roles in business and family.
