Photo from a friend of mine that had to evacuate.
Scary enough picture. Would not want to face that in real life. I hope your friend is safe.

It’s a nasty situation. We had a small fire up the hill behind my place a few weeks ago, but the fire dept handled it pretty quickly. Another one started near my brothers house and from its discovery yesterday, it is already 24,200 acres!

Two photos from my place. 6:30 am and clear. 6:30 pm, not so much…
