That?s the plan. Thanks.
We?ve had a fire (when I say fire, I mean wildfire and not what most folks are familiar
with which are structure fires) near town yesterday and another one (a bit further away)
today. So it?s picking up. To hit the expected 300 for this season, we?ll need about 2
per day! Fortunately most so far have been fairly small (20-80 acres). I know that
sounds *large* (our property is 10 acres) but last year?s fire in Paradise was over
150,000 acres (~240 sq miles) and destroyed over 18,000 buildings. It is really hard to
imagine the scale of the devastation.
So everyone is taking this *much* more seriously now. Today?s fire had 6+ fire engines
respond, 2 bulldozers and 2 air tankers respond.

Between work and preparing for potential fire
evacuations (they're
expecting ~300 wild fires in my area this fire season: we've only had
about 6 so far so I expect *a lot* more soon)
Yikes! Please stay safe.
