Chief Nichols said "Several days" depending on fire conditions. "I'd be surprised if it's greater than five days." Fire dictates when people get back. #WalbridgeFire

Chief Nichols - Some infrastructure along Sweetwater Springs was lost and CAL FIRE must make it safe for you to get back in to the area or there could be injuries. #WalbridgeFire
Chief Nichols - Most of interior burned in #WalbridgeFire three days ago but hot spots are still active.
Sup. James Gore - Area looks like a warzone. Trees falling, very dangerous, lots of infrastructure being done. A lot of watershed will need to be worked. Ash in streams.

Dr. Sundari Mase is reminding us all that #covid19 is still a thing and you should wear a damn* mask.
