We were wondering what all the helicopters were doing buzzing over our apartment complex. I went outside and saw the smoke on Signal Hill which is just to the West of us. Lordy, the whole Hill was on fire.
About two blocks from us is a small reservoir on Upper Orange Street. There were four helicopters flying back and forth from the hill to the reservoir to fill the water-bombs. Made an interesting sight.
The next day, Ruth and I climbed Signal Hill to get to the Noon-Gun, a canon which fires every day at 12 Noon. The fires had started again and out came the helicopters again... Fortunately this this time, the fires had been successfully put out.......![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX9NiZpqPRmUAsz4_rFfwHYMbVUKqdy4hURht9dxbQcL2cdclBHg3sIRfKfQaYMm8cAPFL6xgVV1qVMZeb8MaEbiLv5PwKYx7vibg-VwPd0f9sn3zq29tt6DlcTwIdE1SpYB3ovDcK4pM/s320/Fire+on+Signal+Hill_032.JPG)
