Our state is on fire. Still. These fires all over California have affected all of us in some way. Someone we know. Our friends. Our horses. Our wildlife. Dane and Courtney. Even just seeing these fires from a distant is enough to intimidate you with their power. Two Ventura locals — Chet Williams and Trent Stevens — have been on the run and had the chance to document the power first hand.
