Heard AA also mention the fire was holding west of 101 (believe he may have added ‘for now’ on end, but was scratchy)

By the time it hits Twitter, it can already be pretty stale numbers. They’ve been doing a decent job but when things get real busy and the people who have the password to that account are runnin’ and gunnin’ it’ll be stale.
Also CHP in place and prepped to close 101 if becomes impacted.
