There are fires 2 miles to my east and another 2 miles to my south.

(Among several others). 

We're at 100F due to the flames.

Here's hoping they can put them out in time.

I've been through a lot of bushfires here in Oz, never a good thing. Good luck mate.

Similar to JLM, we also had a pretty bad wildfire back in late May. It burned for 3 days and was only 4 miles away from my house at one point, but I never saw any smoke here. Devastated a nearby nature reserve though. 

I hope they got those fires under control for you Alex, before they did too much damage. It's almost always some careless idiot with a BBQ, or campfire, or someone flicking a cigarette. Doubt there's much lightening around SoCal this time of year.

Sometimes they have dry thunderstorms where the rain doesnt make it to the ground. But of course the lightning does.

That's how most of our bushfires start.
