It is still very dry out in the campo.  The small amounts of rain we have had are not enough

I heard and saw the helicopters going down the valley with the water bags underneath and could smell smoke but could not see where he fire was.  I have some very tall pine trees beside my house and they block my view of Macael.  Glad no one was hurt.
