I have managed to extract a silver lining
from this situation: COVID has finally freed
us from feeling obligated to retrieve
someone from the airport.

There was also an unexpected silver lining in the
form of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Huntington Lake Fire Chief Christopher Donnelly
said it was a blessing in disguise that the [Creek]
fire--which he had anticipated for years due to
brush overgrowth--happened during the outbreak.

Though hundreds of residents were evacuated,
more than 10,000 people usually visit the
Huntington Lake area during Labor Day
weekend.

"Thank god for COVID," Donnelly said. "All
of our campgrounds are closed, Scout
camps are closed."
