There is a fire spreading quickly not too far from here. So far 35 homes have burnt and they shut the fwy. My co-worker's son was on the fwy as he watched a tow truck and 2 other vehicles hit each other. One vehicle flipped up in the air and he saw their faces screaming in horror.

I was told that one vehicle burst into flames and it's a possible fatality. Her son was shook up from having seen such a frightening and horrific sight. Just hearing about it scares me and makes me sad.
My bf usually takes a canyon to work but they closed it off due to the fire. Another co-worker of mine is scared because his home is located near the fire and his wife and kids are staying at her mother's home tonight.
My bf and co-workers will have to take another fwy which also has accidents and is slow and backed up.
The winds are crazy at the moment and the fire is spreading. Some of my co-workers live far away (almost 2hrs away) and they are leaving work now.
My little sister has swim practice but I am thinking of not having her go. I'm afraid the wind has blown the smoke near where her practice is held and wouldn't be safe to breathe.
