We ran for some errands and got a view of the fire from enough distance to see that there is only light, white-colored smoke coming from it and not very much at that. The wind is blowing, but not gusting particularly, and the helicopters are still flying. I assume they are putting out hot spots within the line.
I read online (somewhere) that the incident commander stated that if all goes well through tonight they expect 100% containment. Amazing what 2000 firefighters can accomplish in a short time.
Anyhow, we are feeling much better, with tomorrow still another day with high winds forecast.
Our restaurant, Evans, was featured in the local paper in a photo with the owner and others on the roof hosing it down yesterday afternoon. Tonight we have a 7:00 reservation. Life goes on!
We’re fine and feeling better…
