I told him no fuckin way! I'm staying! He didn't like being challenged, he is younger than the time I've lived here.
I've fought fires, and I can tell you Right now, they've mismanaged this fire badly! FUBAR!

Did they ever get it out?

Oh God no, it is up to 1500 acres.
This is really starting to piss me off. It's "never cry wolf", and that's what they just did by posting a mandatory evac order.
They'll do it again on the next one and the next, to where people start ignoring them and then Wham, we get hit with a real one and no one leaves.
I'm going to do some digging on this. I think it's political! Fuckin Commies!

Here's a map of the fire, I'm over to the West about 4 miles?

At least two or three more weeks of fire, assuming the weather holds.

Of course. Do you think this could be another one of those DEW attacks like Maui?

Nah, they caught the idiot who started it. I think it was a vengeance thing against an acquaintance.
The guy turned him in immediately. However, I do not discount an MK Ultra style connection.
He's a druggie/alcoholic with no friends. The perfect victim of the govt.

His social media had one pic of a 50 year old guy, who looked like he was in his late 70s, and no friends.
He started the fire and 5 hours later, the sheriff caught him.

If you can, give us a update. Hoping for the best.

Glad you asked...

It's as I expected. They finally got all the equipment necessary to contain the fire.
I now understand why the drastic call for an evacuation, those on the scene knew they couldn't stop the fire with what they had and they were panicking.
Finally the state asked for Federal assistance, (That was the political Connection) I had mentioned earlier.
Nucelinni didn't want to use the resources unless he could tap into the Fed Taxpayer Teat, the Fed relinquished and he got his money.

This is how it always turns out. Trump gave the commie Federal money to clean up the forest, Nucelinni put it in the General Fund, money gone, forests still littered with dead trees over the last 3 decades, including drought dried and dead trees.

As long as he's in office, we'll continue to have fires, it's his Golden Goose Teat to Taxpayers money!

Good timing. The fire is now corralled. But no sooner than they got this under control, another pops up near Truckee about 18 miles to the North.

that's close enough to see the smoke.

Looked bad, either a campfire, or arson. With so many resources on the fire line around NorCal, it won't take long to knock it down, unless Nucelinni decides he can profit off this one as well.
