Originally, I wasn't going to say anything about what's been happening. Then I figured, well, maybe it will help someone else.

(thread) Monday night, I began to have some relatively normal shortness of breath. I thought well, I have severe asthma so maybe it's just a flare. The next morning, I had chills and a headache with runny nose (along with the SOB).

Possible brush fire in the Brea area in or near the Boy Scout camp. Header showing for units on scene. #LACoFD also sending units. Units making their way in say the fire may be deep within the camp. May have to think about structures if that's the case.
