I live in SAT and we can see the fires that have crested the mountains and are now working their way down our side. They are travelling pretty fast toward Chula Vista Norte, La Floresta Norte (that area). The choppers seem to be concentrating on the area close to the Hiway on the other side of the mountains. This is getting kinda scary. The two choppers they have in the air now don't look like they are making much headway.

๐ฅ The fire started last Saturday in Ixtlahuacan after people camping had a fire out control.
๐ฅ Yesterday the fire expanded as it was windy also because the fire was on a cliff so was hard to get there.
