So, you've been "downgraded" to an evacuation warning and you can go home. What does this mean? ๐ค It means the fire is being controlled/tamed in other zones/moving away from your zone/not a threat anymore. You could still be asked to evacuate again. 1/3 #WalbridgeFire
Plz don't go toodling around areas under mandatory evacuation. Crews are still working in the areas and there is fire activity. Just because you can go home doesn't mean the fire is out or contained in the zone next to your zone. Go home and stay home, please. #WalbridgeFire 2/3
There's also a red flag warning and 40% change of lightning storms in Guerneville/DCV tonight. If there are new starts and things turn for the worst, you'll have to evacuate again. So just things to keep in mind. Be safe. #WalbrigeFire#DebbieDowner#KeepitReal 3/3

My step-grandpa, Carl Richard Bischoff, died in Arizona yesterday after a five year fight with multiple myeloma. One of the most altruistic men I've ever known, he stepped in as a surrogate grandfather to me when my stepmom, BJ, became part of our family.

Almost 15 years ago we both under went surgeries- me dental surgery and Carl for colon cancer- like two freshman college roommates we were holed up together unexpectedly at BJ's house - eating soft foods, hopped up on pain killers and watching bad television for a week.

It was my first chance to get to know Carl, this man who was a new part of my family tree. He was born in 1933, the day after me, August 27, in Lancaster, PA. (We often celebrated our birthdays together!)

This means the fire is no longer spreading, but it is not necessarily at 100% containment.

Crews will be on scene for 3 hours
I will update THIS THREAD for the time being with any new information. ๐
This is on the Napa-Sonoma border, honestly. Just east of Sugarloaf State Park.
#WallFire is located in the Nuns Fire scar. That's "my" fire. And don't get excited - 2017 fire scars are ready to burn again - if you live here, you know.
