Dan worked wilderness fire in Wyoming some years ago. During the Cedar, he had a lung infection so couldn't work/volunteer. Now, he has to go out of town to Bakersfield for work.

Fire is burning areas untouched by the Cedar...fresh fuel.

Also hope Doug is good.. Fire in Fallbrook also. Wonder if he is doing emergency stuff via work?? Heard the courts were closed today so personnel could help out.

From my house in Oside I have the fortunate ability to have clear skies. BUT, I can see, and smell the smoke from BOTH the RB fire and OC fires. Very interesting indeed. ONCE AGAIN- if anyone needs a place to go, my doors are open!

We've also got some blue-ish skies, but smoke is everywhere..

The truck this morning was covered in a layer of fine dirt/ash..

Lots of wind blowing stuff around. Hopefully the wind dies down SOON.

I just went out front and took these...

This is towards Sycamore Canyon. I'm less than a mile from the trail.


This one is towards Mtn Woodson. Which is about 5 miles away.

I know we have a pocket of clear sky's between those two points which are South and North respectively. We are thinking about hang for the call before we leave. We have a shelter less than a mile down the road so I'm thinking if they keep it open we might just hang. They closed the high school due to air quality. But the air is OK you don't really smell it indoors and out side its the dust and ash that are the biggest annoyance.

I texted Doug he is watching the Rainbow fire now. So I assume no evacuation or anything for him or his family in Fallbrook.

We have a weird halo of smoke around our neighborhood in Scripps, kind of weird. When you look straight up, it's clear blue sky, but if you look up north (we live up the hill overlooking the 15) it's pretty dark.

Pretty spooky. Very similar to the fire 4 years ago. Everyone be safe.

Yep get out & rent a hotel if it is close to your house. My Aunt's house burned down in Cedar Fire located in Scripps Ranch & was not prepared then. I just called her & her car is all packed & she rented a hotel room for a couple of days, she is not taking any chances again.

Is anyone getting these "reverse 911 calls"? I wonder if they call cell phones?

I heard earlier that it's fairly difficult for them to reverse call cell phones. Land lines are pretty easy because they know where you are, but cell phones are not as easy.

Not to say people aren't getting them, but they may not be as reliable as those to land lines.

Default SD Fire.....
I dont think anyone is going to be riding Hodges or daley anytime soon. Hodges is up in fire and Daley is next. Many people and homes are in danger... Just incase you havent watched the news... Lets hope everyone is ok.

The air quality is really bad and they are saying unless you need to be outside, dont be. We dont want anyone with respiratoy problems. everyone be safe!
