I was reading about the fires in California just now and I happened upon this little snippet from an article:
"Early Sunday, the wind pushed flames dangerously close to a church and adjacent mobile home park in the Olinda Village area north of Yorba Linda, but firefighters were able to beat it back and only one mobile home was lost.
Billy Bagsby, an inmate firefighter with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said the flames suddenly shifted direction around 2 a.m.
``It was like the church was protecting itself,'' Bagsby said."

It was just kind of out of the blue and I thought it was interesting.
