Gotta pick up hot spots as we might have a Red Flag Warning this week due to heat starting Wednesday.

Lots of infrastructure damage on Los Alamos Road - utility, etc. Lots of work before you can return to remote areas. Many crews working - PG&E.
Lower Calistoga Rd looks well. Hot spots all over though.

Supervisor Gorin - She visited fire damaged areas today. She said it's like what she saw in 2017. "So many families lives disrupted. To see the ashes of their homes."

Chief Ben - Red Flag is 50/50 starting tomorrow. If it happens would be Wednesday PM through Friday morning at 6 AM.
Driving factor is not offshore winds, but combination of duration of heat, NW winds (10-15 MPH), low RH.
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.
2/16
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.
๐ฅ1/4 acre
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.
