It’s night and the day is done so I have a few spare minutes.
We have been assisting in the fire house today, covering the phones, answering questions, handling the radios, making and delivering food.
Providing showers at our house for displaced fire fighters that can’t get home for the night. They sleep in the fire house since they don’t want to bother us. We are a short distance away.
As well as supplying the bulldozers with fuel and supplies.
Tomorrow will be more of the same.
The nice fire break to the south of us is looking pretty good. A bit more to go and maybe it will hold. The wind is supposed to turn from the south towards us so we hope the break does hold.
On the positive side we received air support today from the world’s largest retardant bomber. A 747 that can drop 20,000 gallons in one shot. As well as a number of smaller planes.
The fires have closed all access to the south and inland. We can only go north and there isn’t much there. There is a potential for another round of lightning Sunday and Monday.
All that said this is only one small area that is becoming a little more secure. Close by there are major fires and evacuations (hundreds of thousands of people), and all over the state as huge fires spread out.
We are not even into our true fire season yet when the winds blow offshore.
We received 11,000 lightning strikes in 24 hours.
Maybe next we can have an earthquake for something different. Just to shake things up of course.
It’s me again
