Fire in Guadalajara

Late Friday 4/20/12 a fire was started in a National Forest less than 10 miles form our house.  We are now at  five days since the start and it is still burning.  We can see it from the roof patio of our house.  We have heard reports that over half of the forest has burned.  We are starting to feel the effects of the smoke in our eyes and throats. The smoke has been blowing in the direction of the city for 2 days and we are smelling and feeling it.  Schools have been closed till Tuesday from the smog/smoke effect and many are wearing mask.  This is such a loss and a hardship for the city of Guadalajara.
