After this voluntary evacuation went out, I heard from several folks that reverse 911 messages implied it was mandatory. Turns out, in Nevada, only the governor or the legislature has the authority "To provide for and compel the evacuation of all or part of the population"

Some messages and emails that went out to residents in the area. It seems Douglas County is simply omitting the words "voluntary" or "mandatory," which caused a lot of confusion. But Douglas County officials stress ppl should treat voluntary evacs as actual evac for their safety Image
Here's my story today on the confusion regarding evacuation orders and voluntary vs. mandatory. mynews4.com/news/local/tam…

Some photos I took at the northern containment line of the #TamarackFire today. Crews holding it on Hwy 88 just west of Woodfords, CA. @CAL_FIRE ImageImageImageImage

We have to talk about journalistic malfeasance that I’ve come across covering the #TamarackFire. Some abhorrent behavior being relayed to me.
Law enforcement telling me today a TV crew was in the way of an airdrop and prevented it from happening. And I witnessed a Photog get far too close to a firefighter working the containment line. He had to be yelled at. Shouldn’t have been in that position in the first place.
Earlier this week, the manager of one of the evacuation centers told me a reporter asked to use the restroom and was strictly told no cameras inside. Turns out he lied and took some photos of evacuees sleeping in their cots.

I’ll be sharing numerous videos from behind the fire lines of #TamarackFire in this thread. We reported from the north fire line near Woodfords, CA and then looped down to the Topaz/395 fire line.

It looks to me like a big spot fire just popped up right outside East Quincy, CA from the #DixieFire within the last 1-2 hours. Very close to the town. Called Dixie command and they seemed unaware of any fire near Quincy. Keeping my eye on it. Image
Plumas County Sheriff's office hung up on me because they're so busy dealing with this. I'd say keep your eye on their Facebook page for evac orders coming through. I'll reach back out if and when things settle down for more information. #FlyFire
