Increased Smoke & a note on Tassajara

Quick update, for those who are checking, and then I’ll do a a more complete update tonight.
The wind really picked up, up here on my ridge all afternoon.

I see increased smoke plumes to the north east of me, possibly by Rodeo Flats, but I cannot tell. I am hoping this is part of the back burning operation, because I have been unable to find any info on it.

The fire is at Tassajara. 5 people remained behind, but not firefighters, as it was felt to be too dangerous.

“Director David Zimmerman reported via telephone that everyone is safe at Tassajara and that the fire has entered Tassajara. The crew is putting out spot fires, and they are continuing to water down the buildings and the grounds. The feeling is that with the watering, the riparian valley is defending against the fire. We will continue to update you as information becomes available.”
