Taxpayers just funded my swimming pool.
I posted this in Preparedness because I'm getting prepared for a forest fire sweeping through my property. It's 4 miles West of me now and no rain in sight. Currently at 1000 acres and 200 firefighters (including office personnel).Terrain is too rugged for firefighters on foot so all they are doing is dropping retardant with a bomber and doing bucket work with 3 helicopters...two Bell 212's and one Firehawk (Blackhawk). Dozers are building firebreaks but they are minimal due to steep terrain.
The dwelling protection team just came by and set up 4 rainbirds and this 1000 gallon tank along with a gasoline powered pump.

Is the wind in your direction?

Re: Taxpayers just funded my swimming pool.
Wind died down and now it's just understory burning. Today and tomorrow the wind is predicted to blow out of the Northwest which should keep the fire South of me until the wind changes again.
