County of Sonoma just sent the following message to cell phones: Emergency Alert SonomaCo EVACUATION WARNING fire threat North Austin Creek Recreation Area"

Editorial: This is a bit odd that this alert appears to have gone out county wide and there is NO WAY this fire would reach Sonoma Valley (area where I am at) unless there were a dry hurricane off the coast blowing 100+ mile an hour winds due East. I have neighbors texting me asking if I am packing or if they should be concerned. This just adds a bit more anxiety to our County population after what everyone went through the last 3 years. (Sorry for the editorial)

Yep itā€™s creating havoc for Santa Rosa FD and phone calls. They just sent out their own clarification:

ā€œThe Wireless Emergency Alert received by Santa Rosa residents is for a fire in West Sonoma County. It is NOT related to Austin Creek in Skyhawk and is NOT threatening the City of Santa Rosa. Go to www.SoCoEmergency.org for information from the County of Sonoma.ā€

There is a new fire which is now being called the Spanish Fire, reported this morning is 400-500 acres, Div November. DROS and will impact Berryessa Estates in the near future. Concerned with the potential of spotting across Putah Creek.

Is this fire being worked by anything and is it even named yet?

#34

I heard Austin IC on the radio. Iā€™m assuming that will be the name and it will be rolled into the complex next operational period.

I believe the 13-4 is ready for its own IA Thread. Just heard 500 Acres and wasnā€™t able to get the evacs.
