A view from Sonoma County about 1830 Hrs. The beast had awoken!

It’s late ,but everything went quiet after impact to hwy 175…
Intel or updates?

It sounds like the fire laid down and crews were going to be able to pick it up with a couple hours of work.

This link is being passed around as a possible summary of the evacuations (mandatory and advisory). I cannot figure out the source of it and I don’t know if I trust it 100%. Anyone know the source?

Well that was last night. This afternoon the fire made it across 175 and is now well established and made a hard run to the south and east, is currently being hung up in the flats but still moving along the ridge.

Anybody have information on the Ranch Fire’s behavior this afternoon? I’m having a hard time finding updates. I know a couple of the radio frequencies is that area are down so I’m sure that’s a big part of it.

View from Middletown 5 minutes ago.

Anyone hear about the current activity in division MM on the River fire? Reports were that it was making a hard push toward lakeport with impacts to structures.

I don’t know anything that detailed. Here is what I do have.
