I'm watching the #SonomaCounty #WalbridgeFire #MeyersFire #LNULightningComplex community briefing. Anything of interest I'll tweet in this thread. 👇

#WalbridgeFire is now 25% contained. No change in acreage from this morning. The fire has not grown or moved in five days. 250 National Guard personnel are now working on the fire. Weather tonight will be good w/marine layer moisture.

#MeyersFire is CONTAINED! 💯 #LNULightningComplex #SonomaCounty

Yesterday they completed a successful firing operation along Los Lomos near Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Rd. Today two firing operations, one along Felta Creek and another at Pool Ridge to Camino del Arroyo. #WalbridgeFire

#WalbridgeFire is now in mop-up and patrol status. That means containment will improve.

Thus far, 91 structures have been destroyed in #WalbridgeFire. The assessment is not complete. You can see what they've evaluated so far here and search by address: arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… #HennesseyFire #LNULightningComplex #MeyersFire

CAL FIRE: Rio Nido's proximity to the fire's edge, we must ensure no threat of roll out material or fire in the drainage nearby. Too many structures and residents to risk it yet.
