Is that "FIRE" I smell?

Earlier this evening I heard sirens  - lots of sirens and then I heard them stop.  I thought that maybe there was a big accident of the corner, which is a major intersection.  More sirens, and then they would stop.  Then all of a sudden I could smell it - FIRE!!  I live right along a big gully that could easily light up.  I grabbed my camera that was sitting on the table and ran outside to see if I could see smoke.  Down the stairs and yes - I could see smoke and heard more sirens.  I started to walk, really fast, in the direction of where the smoke was coming from.  It was far enough away not to totally freak me out, but close enough to freak me out!!  then I could see it, a helicopter coming this way...it past the area, went down to Ladera and came back.  It must have circled 10 times then it started getting lower...and wham...the water came pouring out.  Not to long after that, the smoke started going away.  Crazy afternoon I tell ya.   Wanna see?
