CARR Fire In Redding
I could stand in my back yard and watch all of this as I was spraying water on my roof to try and keep the falling ash and embers from starting a fire. It is about 8/10 miles from my home.

Stay safe..... any plans for evacuation/ moving vehicles,etc ? I was hoping the firefighters had a better handle on this fire.

That was from a week or so ago. They have the fire mostly contained and what is left of that fire is now quite a ways West of me. However we do have three others that are adding smoke to what we already have and the sir quality is considered as hazardous. I worked one year on the fire lines when I was in college but I have never seen anything like this and that fire tornado was beyond what any of the fire fighters who had 30/45 years doing this had ever seen.

Thanks Lou,
I am safe at least for the moment but the planes are flying over the house today fighting the other fires that are around us. This smoke is really getting to people and most of us have been wearing masks when outside for the past two weeks. Ron |
I was just through that area a couple of weeks ago. The air quality was pretty bad. Happy to hear you're OK.
We had a big fire in our neighborhood a few years ago. I took these pictures from my bedroom window. https://i.imgur.com/npyplgt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XEZ7zlM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JSio98j.jpg |
Bob,
That looks like around here has for the past month. We have been under a hazardous air quality for three weeks now. Here is a link to a short video of what part of Redding now looks like and that is just 8 miles from me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voxx8wHge7Y Ron |
That's just heartbreaking. I watched those people's homes burn to the ground <2 miles from where I sat. It was horrific.
