Officers are patrolling burn areas in Santa Rosa. No looting or burglaries in the City of Santa Rosa per Police Chief.

Santa Rosa Police Chief - Evac orders remain in place in many areas and it's "unlawful" for you to be there. City police are patrolling and you sneaking in wastes their time.
No re-entry passes being distributed.
#GlassFire

#GlassFire
They're going to be doing a lot of work around City of Calistoga, Hwy 29 corridor. They are concerned about the wind event. Similar to what we saw three days ago.
"Preparing for worst case scenario" says CAL FIRE.
#GlassFire
Q: Any concerns about fire moving to Mark West drainage and Tubbs Fire scar?
A: Lighter fuels means easier for crews to suppress, but, still receptive - any ash fall could be worrisome. Weather event unlikely to cause any impact. Building control lines now.
#GlassFire
Fire crossed Diamond Mtn and is up hillside above Calistoga. Area in region hasn't burned in a long time so very active.
#GlassFire
What fuel is fire burning in? "Everything from timber to grasslands. Burn scars, etc."
Area fire burned primarily in Sonoma County was unburned in 80+ years.

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.
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.
