This will be quick.
Most of the fires in northern LA county (where I live) are just about fully contained or are burning away from civilization. The exception is the Castaic fire, which is now approaching the town of Fillmore. Chris Troike, one of our legionaries who lives in Castaic, was allowed to return home with his family last night, and his house was still there (thank the gods!). The fire had burned up to the edge of his development, but was turned back by those heroic Super Scooper planes. Thanks, Canada, for sending them our way!
Resources are now being shifted toward Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino and San Diego, where the winds are still strong and fires continue to threaten housing areas.
As a side note, one of our members, Jim Miller, who lives in the Malibu area, was burglarized over the weekend. I'm not sure if this was a result of him having to evacuate because of the fire; if so, it represents an act of looting, for which the penalties are much greater than simple burglary (I'll vote for crucifixion!). Anyway, his Albion Pompeii Gladius was among the items stolen.
If anyone sees an Albion Pompeii gladius going up on Ebay in the next few days, please be aware it could be Jim's and post a PM to me or email me at [email protected] . Thanks!
