I fear it may have succumbed to the fire

I think you’re right.
And we get reminded again why defensible space is important, This is a lesson being relearned the hard way.

East Quincy is next, although it looks like it’s backing fire and not taking on a wall of fire. However there might be clearance issues here where even a backing fire can be jeopardizing. I watched two cams yesterday go down live, not sure I can watch a third.
I’m 22yr sysadmin by day, I can’t help but personify electronics. Servers are supposed to be cattle, not pets, and I treat them as such, but these fire cams are like silent sentinels watching our backs so we can sleep at night. They are absolutely our pets. Hang in there East Quincy!

Curious to know who (assuming PGE command center?) controls the cameras? There is a reported fire in a remote area along the Sonoma Coast at a house under construction right now and I checked the nearest camera which showed nothing but was pointed in the right direction. (the incident has been since canceled and the camera repositioned back to its original position).
I did a 15min time-lapse and I could see the camera was repositioned in the direction of the reported fire pretty close to the time of dispatch. So I was just curious who controls the zoom and direction on these? An invaluable tool for the toolbox!
Yes, I would go on Twitter and tweet at @PGE4Me AND @alertwildfire and ask them to change the camera. They do it for me quite regularly.

Dispatch Centers, GACCs, and ECCs have the ability to control. Take a look at the lower part of the frame and youll see who is logged in a controlling.

Also if you look at the wording on the bottom of the picture there will be who is logged in. Most CF ECC’s have access to change the cameras. I would assume same of FED’s. As well as individual accounts up and down the state.

LG, LE have access to the camera controls as well, as does GACC personnel.

It’s in San Diego and SDU was not included in the program?

Since we are all complaining today can we make the gigantic ALERT CALIFORNIA water mark a little less gigantic?

And fix the map bug that keeps popping up.

Also the other thing that is a bummer is you can not zoom in much on the map.

@ALERTCalifornia I keep getting the missing screen tile on map, I’ve cleared history, refreshed, and whatever else I could do but it comes back every other try on the website.
