IMG_4161.JPGIMG_4160.JPGI just got off work today and am in Sebastopol, packing for NYC

My neighbor, who lives across the street in Lakeport just sent me an email with these photos 

titled - FIRE

I swear, I stopped breathing 

He said the hill above our houses caught on fire, he thinks fro kids smoking cigarettes up there

Hopefully it is fully contained?!?!?!

he said firefighters were on it 

these photos are take from IN FRONT of MY HOUSE!

I still kinda cant breathe- that really freaks me out-

dumb kids- see how dry it is?!

 

Thank God for firefighters. I pray it is contained.

 scary stuff

Best of luck to you and the 'hood

Hoping all is well.

Damn man.

 

All the Best

Probably wouldn't hurt to put a couple Lawn Sprinklers on tonite and soak down the perimeter.  Happy Travels to NYC,  and be careful out there !!

Those folks in the house at the top of the hill must have been freaking out.

hope all is well

whats the update??

people still smoke cigarettes? dumbasses

Hope all is well....

I hope the fires are dead out before you leave for peace mind!

 

Oh shit Ro! 

Sending out some serious love for you and the firefighters!

Stay safe and watch out for those delinquents smoking. Haven't they heard about vaping?? Better for the lungs, land and the neighbors.  wink

Dance a few for us in NYC! 

Best o' luck with this.

Thanks, guys!

neighbor told me he would contact me if anything more happened 

so far, so good!!!

grateful!!

Landscape in the photos looks like low-growing dry brush,  not tons of combustible Pine trees near houses.  

Could make a nice brush-fire,  but looks like you & neighbors keep it mowed / weed-whacked.  Second photo appears as if homeowners spread a lot of gravel around the slope to act as fire barrier.

I'm in swampy / Wetland habitat so not much fire danger here,  plus it rained a bunch all Spring and Summer.

Have FUN back East and I'll send a Jerseyland rainstorm out to Sebastopol wink

Holy shit Ro.  That is scary as shit.  Sending good thoughts your way.  Hoping the fire is contained.  Xo

How do you know so much about fires stu?

wink The house is in Lakeport, close to Clearlake. That area is always very dry.
