Wow - that fire is close! I hope it doesn't head any closer to you. Have there been any evacuations around you?

We've been under evacuation orders since yesterday.
Gentler winds. Fire just creeping along the ground with the occasional tree bursting into flames. I can't really see due to the smoke but it appears more than half the trees will survive.

Nothing. The order is actually just a suggestion. The only catch is that there are some road closures down narrow single lane dirt roads with heavy firefighting equipment so if you leave during a stage 3 evacuation they might not let you return and it could be several days.

With a few exceptions, it generally does not rain after the first week of July and before the first week of September. One of the Firefighter supervisors told me this morning "This is going to be a long duration fire".
Pine and Fir smoke have a pleasant odor. I'm probably breathing the equivalent of 4 packs of cigarettes a day. When this is over I'll probably go through withdrawals. I often wake up at night with "cotton mouth".

Getting a little closer to home now. Stage 3 evacuation now in effect.
I rode my 4 wheeler around and found a line of fire on the South end of my property, sneaking up on me.
Be safe. Do you think you will have to evacuate?
