definitely the Tubbs Fire. You can see where my childhood home used to be in the wikipedia image! Fortunately, we didn't live there at the time, we were a couple neighborhoods over, but it was still quite scary, the air was horrible, it lasted forever, and we had to evacuate for a while to my grandma's house to the south. Fortunately the worst of the damage to our home was holes melted in the fake grass from raining embers, and a persistent smell of smoke, and nobody i knew got hurt.

someday, i want to live somewhere that doesn't have to worry about 'fire season'.
