Nice video of fire planes refilling at a reservoir.

A good picture that shows the fire companies from all over California for the current fire. Keep in mind, this is just a small part of those who are battling this fire.

IT BEGINS AGAIN...'TIS THE SEASON!

THE PAWNEE FIRE HAS EXPANDED TO 13,700 ACRES AND 'BROKEN IT'S CONTAINMENT' WHICH WAS AT 73%... THE MORNING AIR OVER MY HOME, APPROX. 25 MILES TO THE SOUTH, IS OVERCAST UNDER A DENSE AND DAMP PALL OF YELLOW SMOKE AND THE WHOLE YARD, ROOTOPS, CARS AND PATIOS ARE COVERED IN THICK DAMP ASH PARTICLES. CLEANING UP THE MESS WILL BE A JOY. THIS FIRE IS NEAR WHERE THE COBB MOUNTAIN/MIDDLETOWN DISASTER STRUCK IN 2015 WITH 50 SQUARE MILE, 1200 HOMES AND FOUR DEAD....TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE HIGH NINETYS TO 100 DEGREES TODAY. THE ''NEW NORMAL'' FOR CALIFORNIA HOME OWNERS??!!:

Great picture, but at least it's not an earthquake or a volcano or a hurricane or a tidal wave from another earthquake in Alaska.
Fires are bad, but the options of the other disasters are even worse. They estimate that 250,000 to 400,000 people would be homeless from a earthquake in your area. Think about that

I don't know if anybody has brought this up before, or thought of it but even after the fires are all out, the problem is not over. When the spring rains come, all that water will cause huge mud slides in the areas that were burned. I believe this has happened in the past after fires like they are having now. There is usually no warning so people can escape the mud like there is with the fires. I think more people die in the slides than in the fires. Any Comments?

BURN BBY BURN!
^ THIS ONE: 1982 LOVE CREEK SLIDE, STICKS IN MY HEAD BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THE FEW REAL ESTATE VALUERS/APPRAISERS THAT WOULD VENTURE INTO THE REMOTE SAN LORENZO VALLEY OF THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS.

Glad to hear from you Acktung. I posted something in the comments thread. I hope you're holding up well. There are firefighters from across the country in California. I happen to know a few of them, one of who is keeping us up to date on Facebook.
