Not allowed to work up in Fairfield area anymore since the air quality is so bad. Stay safe y'all.

Oh shit, how did I not see this thread until today? I'm in SoCal, but I know a bunch of people up in NorCal (including in the Sacramento area).

Are additional resources being brought in to deal with the fires?

Ya something like 10k fire fighters total from local and various states were brought in kind of crazy.

About to go on a walk for the first time in three days.

Feels weird in an area where it's almost always a good day for a walk to be stuck inside for days.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Right?

There should still be plenty to do and your tourist dollars will be a help.

I can actually see dark blue from the ocean clearly this morning. It's going to get worse later, but it's pretty nice at the moment.

Not sure if there’s a better thread for this, but this is a pretty amazing video taken during the fire.

Not sure how this is even possible if i didn’t see it with my own eyes

The weather channel had the video on their app yesterday.

Australian firefighters, as well. Someone mentioned Canada, too. And they brought in handcrews from Samoa.

New fire in Boulder Creek now? Pretty close to Los Gatos. *sigh* No wonder it's smokey today.

Oh, and as I'm typing this there's yet another not listed on the tracker that's right by Dublin, a friend there was telling me.

When will it end?!

They should make a Antonov An-225 ( worlds largest airplane) with tons of water to spray over affecteed area. This is all so sad smh poor animals and people losing their homes.

Might be easier/more efficient to use smaller planes and copters as large bombers need a bigass lake and round trips can be much longer/further than smaller craft who can fill up a lot closer.

Obviously this depends on lake availability in a given location but I believe it's not often enough to justify them in the long run

Would salt water from the ocean not work well on fires? I'm guessing that it doesn't, but yeah as I've mentioned, we definitely need to upp our preventative measures and emergency services. This year should be a lesson in that.

My parents informed me today that the evacuation for Oakmont was finally lifted. Going to fly up tomorrow to help out.
