5 years ago today, we lost John Prine at 73. A mailman turned master songwriter, he gave us countless albums of wisdom, wit, and heart. He may not have chased the spotlight, but legends like Dylan and Cash sure chased him.

When wildfires threaten communities and homes, you might hear a lot about defensible space and the layer of protection it can provide.
#Defensiblespace is the first line of defense for your home against #wildfire.

The evacuations have been lifted. But still, it's been a trying day for the folks in Mission Valley. Again, call ahead if you're planning to be in that area. And if you must be down there, be kind to the folks working, it's been a very trying day. Some of the roads may still be closed.
Check first.
If you have business in Mission Valley today. Call ahead. There's a fire near the 8 and 163. Be careful, there are evacuations in the area. If you don't need to be there, don't go. If you are told to evacuate, leave if you can.
Stay safe out there.
