This morning humidity was at 69% and already around 90 degrees F. Almost everyone who lives in Borrego understands that calls for air conditioner use rather than swamp coolers. When you think of the fire fighters working in this high temperature/high humidity environment you have to wonder how they do it! For instance, we were out early trimming Lantana. We lasted about forty-five minutes before we decided to return to our comfortable air conditioned house! Thanks to every firefighter who is out there.
The cause of the fire has been tagged arson. The cost, so far, is $ 12.9 million. I wonder if the perpetrator (s) will ever be found and be held financially responsible for the fire.
This afternoon: Humidity had dropped to about 22 percent but temperature increased to around 108 F. ( feels like 110 degrees ) Sky, clear with a few white clouds over mountains, wind light. Total area burned, about 21 sq. miles.
