#3 I'm closest to Wallbridge fire, ash falling like a light snow. I can see the smoke from Hennessy firef from Napa as well. George M Schulz airport has a major air attack presence and they're basically on the front lines now. Zero containment. Next 48 hrs are critical.

#5 Careful Rex, the fire speed to traffic jam ratio is the wrong kind of exciting.

We had a trucker cry no joy and attempt to make a u-turn. In the smoke, vehicles began running into the truck. If it weren't all right next to a baby green wheat field to the crash victims to take refuge in...the trucker, unaware of the field, fled a less desirable direction.
