A long, long day. There was a new fire on my side of the river early this afternoon, a structure was lost, it is under investigation. They knocked it down quickly and stopped it form spreading to the wildland.
The main fire has only managed to burn 100 acres on my side of the river, but a total of 3300 acres have been lost. They have been doing an outstanding job working it. I am told only 4 structures in the main fire have been lost. A red tail hawk into a power line is what they think was the point of ignition.
They are trying to create a stronger line to keep it from jumping the South Fork of the Yuba again, which would be very bad news for us.
They are not predicting containment until the 20th, so it is gonna be a long week.
All of our cars are covered with ash, the sky has that orange tint to it, and we have kept the house closed up all day due to the smoke.
Last info I had was about 1400 people working the fire, today they had 13 choppers and 4 fixed-wing tankers, 14 dozers, 40 some odd engines.
I have been dragging sprinklers all day, saturating our property and doing what I can.
I think tomorrow and Tuesday will be the toughest days, but we will see.
Thanks for the prayers, keep 'em coming...
