My son went up there 3 days ago, we took his kids camping and just got home.
His assignment yesterday was for housing protection, and it turned out his wife's cousin's home was in the area they were protecting. They got word they needed to vacate as the fire was surrounding them and if they didn't get out soon, their only escape route would be on fire. I believe within 5 hours the wife's cousin lost their home. This is the 3rd time my son has been at a fire, and they needed to get out ASAP. The last one was bad, they got about 500 yards past one home on their rapid evacuation, drove by homes starting to get engulfed, and this one had a propane tank and the house literally explode in fire.This was over in Napa.
I did see before he left it was reported to be 25% contained, then they realized that it was really 10% contained and why they were sent north. Now it is 5% contained!
My son in law went to LA area the same day, not sure which fire but my son is on the Carr fire.
Prayers for those who live there, and working to stop the fires.
