NIFC only has the Los Padres fire listed. >500 miles from here, that ain't it.

And the map (first link) results in URL not found :-(

Guess I'll have to see if I can catch anything on VHF radio then.
VHF radio? You mean FM? Usually the AM band has the all-news stations,
but I don't know your area well.

No, I meant the CDF frequencies. The news stations are often not that helpful with this stuff.

But, you hit the nail on the head earlier: It was (finally!) announced a few minutes ago on one news station that the controlled burn north of us had "experienced an unforeseen wind shift". I wish they wouldn't control-burn such larges swaths all at once.

Population control ?:-)


I fully expected you to have written weenie eradication ;-)
