Yeah, the fires are well north of the city. Lots of smoke last night over town, but winds seem to have shifted direction this morning.

Usual summer pattern is the winds will switch back this afternoon, which is when it makes it tough on the firefighters.

It's a rural area, but there's still lots of houses up there, and those poor folks went through an almost identical fire last year.
