Norther CA fires... bad

[SLOweather]

"Chief Ken Pimlott of Cal Fire said at least 1,500 homes and commercial facilities had been destroyed in 14 fires now burning in eight counties in Northern California, including Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Yuba. He said firefighters had “limited or no containment” on the fires, and that many communities “were just overrun.”"

A busy red flag day (days)

I started to listen to this just after 22:00 on 10/08. By daylight just about every frequency I have programmed for Cal Fire was talking. Very heavy traffic from Napa, Yuba and Butte counties. I also heard TGU sending down units to one of the many fires.
