4:15 PM –

2:30 UPDATE; Pay attention to any evacuation warnings that may be issued. I am waiting for official word. Video from Neva Case taken at 1 pm I have not been able to upload. I got it on you tube, but can’t seem to navigate it to here. https://youtu.be/ukenLL2NxiI?is=CrH1WtNtSerkBm9d

11:00 am UPDATE: Watch Duty is showing 100 acres and 20% containment. I will try to post an update each hour today for as long as I can with power issue, or until I take a nap, if needed. LOL.

10:00 am – I have been following this fire since it started last night shortly after 7 pm. I got a notice from PulsePoint. WD had not alerted to it yet. I lost my power at 9 pm and have been trying to stay abreast via batteries and Jackerys. Not easy. The sun is shining directly on my solar panels, now, so hopefully I will be okay today. Too much use of my stand-alone ice maker for the last 3 days (all day, each day). I will try to keep this updated as my power allows.

There are five aircraft flying this now, I believe. Here is a photo taken from Apple Pie Ridge at 9:30 am:
