This is pretty personal to me. I didn't see a thread, so I figured I'd make one. I lived right there for ten years. If I were still there, I'd be under evacuation.
Many times the farmers in the area would jump to action and create fire lines when wildfire happened. It saved lives. I'm devastated by the death of the man, he was a hero.
It looks like it's going to get worse before it gets better. Though the area is rural, there are little towns all over that are either burning or very close. My kids schools where in two different towns and both are evacuated. Grass Valley is burning, and has no power. My sons best friend from Moro texted him three hours ago that they were ordered to flee and he hasn't heard from him. I feel helpless being so far away.
People in the area are volunteering to take in animals as many are being left behind in the rush to flee. If you're in the area, and can help, please do.
