well its happening again,from calaveras county to plumas county in the sierra nevada's and from San fransico to north of the napa county wine country,a large fire in napa county has burned to 20,000 + acres ,all just from around midnight,entire tracts of homes,mobile homes,and even a Kmart and strip mall have gone,there were reports of a kiaser hospital that was burning,but that one isnt true,it was completely evac'd though,the 747 super tanker will be used this morning aswell..just got a new report that there is a new fire on and around the sears point raceway.
i was awoken at 5:30am with just non stop sirens passing my home,i turned on my scanner to hear the placer county sheriffs department saying they were code 3 to nevada county,i thought maybe a LE situation,then i heard a deputy say he had never seen anything like what he was seeing.he also said he was seeing flame heights of 200-300 feet high,,,not sure about that though...it is possible but....i doubt it.that fire was reported around 2am and is at 5000+ at 8:47am..
air attack and both tankers were off grass valley at 7am..they usually arent on duty until 10am.
