#HopkinsFire in Calpella is burning hot enough it earned a GOES satellite parallelogram. Note, that's just a general vague satellite pass - doesn't mean the entire area is on fire. It's just a heat signature (meaning something is burning hella hot in the vicinity).

Tones on scanners have gotten more terse, anxious and irritated.

Crews from LNU are heading to the #HopkinsFire.

Yet again, like so many fires, the working class and low income folk pay the price: the fire has burned in a mobile home park. 😔 Extend of damage is unknown.
More evacuation orders will likely be going in place shortly for #HopkinsFire on the easterly side of the fire. Evacuate, don't wait!

People keep driving around the road closures - so, hard closures are going into place, meaning law enforcement will likely be called in. 🙄

Also more evac orders likely going in for more areas near/around Lake Mendocino. PLEASE GO IF ASKED.

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.

1/16
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!)

BREAKING #CALDORFIRE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
@TahoeLWF about WATER USE DURING THE FIRE💧 #Drought

THREAD 👇

There is "an alarming trend" of evacuated residents leaving irrigation, garden hoses, and sprinklers on roofs following evacuation orders in attempts to protect property. 1/5
"As a result, Lake Tahoe Public Utility Districts and water purveyors are experiencing drawdowns in their water supply since evacuation warnings and orders went into effect."

Neighborhood water tanks & wells are at maximum capacity and being drawn down. 2/5
"This misuse of water can leave water supplies dangerously low when firefighters need fast access to water from fire hydrants to protect homes."

Residents are calling fire districts asking if they should spray down houses and veg before evacuating. "This is not effective."
