MEDIA: I know you are distracted by new shiny things but the #DixieFire is still burning. More evacuations yesterday. More homes and structures are being lost. A lot of resentment is circulating amongst evacuees and survivors. Don’t forget them. Because they will remember this.
And this mainly refers to Northern California media. No one cares from national media anymore and I don't expect them too with the Caldor situation. Except maybe industry news.
Before anyone says "Why aren't you reporting on it?" - I've never been to the Dixie Fire area and I only due intensive fire coverage on Napa/Sonoma/Solano/Mendo/Lake/Marin/Yolo. Self-imposed coverage area. *I am* relaying evacuee and donation information for Dixie Fire, however.

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!)
👏Forward progress stopped👏
This means the fire is no longer spreading, but it is not necessarily at 100% containment.

Crews will be on scene for 3 hours
I will update THIS THREAD for the time being with any new information. 👇
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.
