Listening to the radio yesterday the fire bumped a lot of houses hard but never heard of one involved. When the 6-5 took off I was away from the radio a couple of hours.

Mod Note:

Hopefully just a point of clarification surrounding IWI events. We cannot control broadcast news footage of something in progress. The issue becomes when we are posting IWI events, injuries and sometimes fatalities unfortunately based upon radio traffic only. There is always a time gap of the unknowns and it isn’t the proper protocol for family and friends to potentially learn of something from an unverified radio segment here. It has been a very long standing policy here to wait to discuss those events until there is a formal press release from the media or the agency. In this specific circumstance commenting on live broadcast news footage which is being distributed is not a violation of that policy.

I hope that adds some clarity to the situation because this specific circumstance is extremely rare.

Carry on

Is the team in place? Luckily yesterdays forecast for more lightning didn’t pan out. The last thing they didn’t need was erratic and outflow winds. Still hearing cooler weather starting this weekend into next week. Bring it! Not hearing much and hoping they are getting a handle on things.

Local incident feeds are reporting a similar accident outside of basecamp about 40 minutes ago per radio traffic. Trying to keep in line with the mods last note, but also think it’s important to emphasize the need for defensive driving and rest as noted in today’s IAP.

Edit: local news article
