If any of you happen to be impacted by recent fires in Rio Escondido, or are in the Hamilton Co area and need anything feel free to reach out. I have a place just West and can offer space if needed for storage of equipment or livestock. The evacuations seem to be spreading. Started near 281 and 84 intersection. For those not in the loop, they are at 2500 acres with 20% contained as of latest report.

Took these after stepping out back yesterday evening. It was dropping ash. There is a new one near this off 36 now. Attached File Attached File |

I was on the Rio Escondido fire for 2 days, until we got called back to our home response area in Adamsville for a 160ac fire. From what I understand, Rio Escondido is just getting mopped up now. The Ross fire? Holy shit at 80K acres and only 12% containment. That's a mess. |
