This is about 3 blocks from me. I can see Park Hill (the area pushed up by the Caleveras Fault) from my Kitchen door. Some smoke, but not so I can smell it. Wind is up. I'm wondering if they had to evacuate the egregious new development on the North side.

I live in Hollister and have a garden plot on Park Hill...it is a beautiful spot but riddled with encampments...it burns every year either from homeless or fireworks...ironically there is an old forestry station up there that was taken over by CDF, until abandoned and given to the City, which has now abandoned it also..
