Everybody…Please keep this conversation on point. This is not the time nor place for either trolling or political statements. This incident is rapidly changing and moving and there is no place for those types of comments on a day when everyday people are losing everything they own and their businesses.
Carry on constructively and factually, please

Evacuated what we could from my home to the north of FH road this afternoon and got out just as our zone went mandatory. Fuels along those roads are continuous, dense, dry, with significant snags and downed timber – highly receptive. Be careful out there!

Heard traffic around 1900 a medivac copter was going to do recon and would reach AA? Unknown reason and no further traffic heard

Watching the fire behavior on the cams is reminiscent of the behavior of the Bear/North Complex Fire from 2020… which made its big run on Sept 8th/9th
