On Wednesday September 5, 2007 Hofstra University and the Hempstead Fire Department simulated a residence hall fire to teach new and returning students fire safety for their rooms. The Hempstead Fire Department created a simulated residence hall room that was overtaken by fire within three minutes. As flames consumed the room, a Hempstead fire spokesperson explained how quickly a fire can spread in relation to how fast the fire department could arrive on campus. The students also learned about flammable materials such as tapestries and window treatments that can fuel a fire. Hofstra forbids the use of those materials in residence halls.

Hollywood Hills fire as seen from a Century City parking garage. And again with the crappy cell phone. Hopefully my commute back to Hollywood won't suck.

On Wednesday afternoon, July 28, ninety year old Ada Tate and her grandson, John Wilson, were at Ada's home when the Rocky Fire erupted. John had recently arrived to assist his grandmother with some home repairs and also to clear the area to make it fire safe. Ada was outside and noticed the fire burning just a few short miles away. She called the fire department. Within a few hours, Ada and her grandson, John, were told to evacuate. They spent the night at the Red Cross shelter in Clearlake, not certain if the family home had burned or not.
O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.
I'm not hurting for inspiration for February and March.

It's my first time to experience in certainly one of the most spectacular celebrations one will ever see. The photos aren't in very good quality and next time I'll sort out the tricks to take photos in this special event.
The famed Fire Dragon Dance Parade was originated in Tai Hang of Causeway Bay for more than a century ago in an effort to ward off evil spirits that were harming the Tai Hang village. The tale started when a plague spread out in Tai Hang. After performing a Fire Dragon Dance Parade and burning fire-crackers, disease was driven away and the villagers were saved. Since then,
the Tai Hang residents would perform the Fire Dragon Dance Parade in the Mid-Autumn Festival in memory of the incident, and to pray for good luck and good health for everybody.
The Fire Dragon is altogether 66 metres long with its body divided into 32 segments, all of which are stuffed with straw and stuck full of incense sticks.
