Default Wildfires

I am in northern California, and we are no strangers to wildfires.
In 1988, we almost lost our place in the 49'er fire.
400 other homeowners were not so fortunate.
There is another monster burning now in the canyon of the Middle fork of the Yuba River. This is about 7 air miles from my home.
It jumped the lines last night, and has moved to within about 5 air miles.
This is starting to be a bad deja vu.
Please keep us and all the firefighters in your prayers.

Bill, if you need to get ahold of me next week with questions or anything on my order (Rough and Ready Jeff) leave a message on the cell number.
If this fires takes off it'll get the phone lines and we will be bugging out.

Will do, sir. We'll keep everyone involved in our prayers and hope that the wildfire situation settles down before any real damage occurs.

Be safe and God bless.

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...

When I was a kid, we used to drive through Rough and Ready now and then. And, I remember being with my Father when he was fishing on the South Fork of the Yuba. We were living in Grass Valley at the time - my Dad was a mining engineer with the Empire Star mine complex.

It's beautiful country and I'm saddened to hear of the fires there. Hope they get it under control soon. And, you stay safe!

- Jack

sam8,

The firefighters got a good lid on the Santa Cruz fire yesterday. Most of the evacuations have been lifted and it was 60% contained as of this morning, so I'm sure people and equipment are being redeployed to your area this morning.

In my thoughts and prayers,
