The Retriever and I ventured to Rohnerville Airport for our walk this morning. Here's a couple #CalFire planes resting until the fog lifts, and the helicopter getting some TLC from its crew.
Pretty grateful for these hardworking aircraft and their crews these days.

Fire by 880 through Oakland at the 66th Ave exit. It's on the Bay side near Oakport Ave.

Firefighters already have a line around it, so it doesn't pose a risk. No obvious impact to traffic in the area.

Learning from disaster: The Northern California town of Paradise has installed sirens. Paradise was were the Camp Fire killed 84 people 5 years ago.

The sirens are one of several measures that returning residents said were required to make them feel safe again. They will be tested on a monthly basis and can be triggered remotely. They also have solar backup power, in addition to hardwired mains power. #caFire #cawx #campfire

I really need to stop doomscrolling for the day. The fire closest to us seems to be holding. Just about cried seeing this, so time for a break. Travelled 199 not that long ago, and the whole Smith river area is so lovely. Hate to see it in flames. 😥

So many fires. AQI not too bad here. Bit of ash on the cars. CalFire planes went late yesterday and were at it again at first light. Just saw a helicopter hauling a bucket head out from the airport. They're not messing around. It's all hands on deck. Thankfully not much wind at the moment but this afternoon will be a different story.
