Tomorrow morning I might be burned out at our campground we got last year with our life savings. It's where I just put a cabin for my wife; her dream was a little cabin in the mountains. The Dotta Canyon Fire in Plumas Co CA is just 4 miles SW of us, and the wind is blowing to the NE. eek

Lightning started the fire about 2:40 pm, and at 9:30 tonight it's 0% contained. Our good friends had taken their trailer up early today and spotted it for a long 4th of July holiday. The Plumas Co Sheriff came by about 4:45 and advised them to evacuate. We're all loaded up and ready to pull my tin boat and RZR up in the morning.

I hope it still looks like this when this fire is contained. If it's gone another 105 families will have suffered the same fate.

No doubt...Scary situation, emotionally and financially.

My BIL and his wife went through the same situation last summer at their main residence. They had 12 hours warning there zone might go Red with a mandatory evac.

With outside help from people, we got a lot of their things out and stuffed at friends and families homes outside the fire zone.

They still would have lost a butt load of valuables. Their area went Red....Unbelievably the fire got contained a 1/4 mile from their home. Smoke damage and heat still messed up their home.

Wishing the best for you guy's.


Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Damn. Hope you folks get spared.

Looks like it could be a hell of a fire season.

Hoping you are spared...
Wildfires are horrifying.
Most can't understand the magnitude.
I think my son is on that fire right now.
Prayers sent.
