Dixie fire

[Sparks Shooter]

My 7 acres at Canyon Dam is burned. We haven't been able to get in yet and assess the damage. There were a couple dozen huge yellow pines that I sure hope survived but it's doubtful. Always planned on building a cabin up there when I retired. While we only lost recreation property, others are losing everything. -----SS

Finally got confirmation that my place is gone. 3 outbuildings, 3 house trailers and a 40’x40’ deck all gone and nothing but ashes.
I’ve been out in the Nevada desert hunting archery antelope with my son (his tag) to try and forget about it. What else is a fella to do. ?‍

really sorry to hear that wish you the best

Sorry to hear that, downhill! That's terrible news.

Thats terrible news downhill..we had a house fire take almost everything when I was in high school. It sucked.

This is bad, bad, bad, esp with today's projected winds.
Pray for rain if you haven't already.

The west side of the valley is calling for 20+ mph north winds tonight. I sure hope it's not like that up at the fire. It's bad, bad, bad like Boss said!

 

[Gator]

The folks up there haven't gotten a break yet. Hope one shows up soon for them.

Back in my day I was called a fire fighter because we used to put fires out. I think the FS might call them fire tenders now.

 

[Homer]

they've been cutting break 10 miles east of Susanville if that gives you an Idea of what they expect.....

East of Susanville? That's not good.

 

[Homer]

My best friend that is running a dozer there says they are so far behind it it is almost a joke......with all the smoke there is very little air support

 

[eelgrass]

A life long friend of mine has a son who works for CalFire. His son told him they had a line under control and the FS came in and relieved them. They lost control of it and that night Greenville burnt down.

 

[Homer]

Calfire is aggressive...FS is commies

 

[eelgrass]

Calfire is aggressive...FS is commies

Ask the residents of Ruth, CA. After a few fires over a few years they agree.

 

[rraney]

Cal fire aggressive that will be the day.

 

[eelgrass]

Calfire is aggressive...FS is commies

To be clear it's not the local rangers or fire fighters. It's the top brass in Washington setting the policy.

 

[Bossbrott]

Where's the guvnah on this one? Peddling his climate change narrative?

Wow! Glad I sent my Lassen lope tag back to the dfg

 

[larrbo]

I'm heading up Thursday morning to clean out my freezer and refrigerators. Hopefully in the morning highway 32 is still open.

No surprise to me!!!
Feel for everyone that lost homes, in path of destruction, and have to deal with the aftermath of damage and smoke damage.
Keep safe

Smoke covering Utah is certainly nothing compared to the Dixie Fire but it does demonstrate the size and volume of the fire. Utah is getting heavy rain, north to south along with some brisk wind. That usually clears our air. Not this time. This report shows way.

Rain, wind and smoke? Even meteorologists say they're surprised by the combo in Utah

Several Utahns reported Wednesday they still could smell smoke even during storms. Here's why.

I get it now. I went up on FS land to cut firewood last Spring. They had a "designated firewood cutting area" where someone thinned a bunch of trees. It was within 1/4 mile of the Ranger's housing.

I was up on the Los Padres national forest just outside of Fort hunter Liggett... Found some nice big white oak limbs and dead trees for firewood. The game Warden was in the area and told me we are not allowed to remove any dead wood from the forest for fear of spreading a beetle that may have killed the tree ...is this stupidity??

 

[Blank]

Just got real for us. They pulled my son's HotShot crew from their fires in WY/CO and they are headed to the Dixie Fire now. Travel safe boy and girls!!!

Glad I turned my tag in yesterday. Just saw this.
