Mildfires Amble Through California

MAY 26, 2009 | ISSUE 45-22

OJAI, CA—A series of mildfires ambled casually through California this week, lazily threatening nearby homes, warming helpless wildlife, and cozying up to almost everything in its path. “We barely evacuated our home in time,” said resident Paul Krempel, whose backyard has been threatened by the loitering fire for days. “First, the boxes we ordered arrived a day late, and then there was a mix-up at the van rental place, which took forever. Plus, Margaret had to go pick up the kids from soccer practice before we could really start packing. It was definitely a close call.” Firefighters have rushed to the scene of the mellow inferno and are currently sitting around it in lawn chairs, exchanging old stories and telling jokes.
