good luck to ya...are you on the colfax side? or the Iowa hill side? ( i think you told me once you were up the 80)not foresthill....ive been watching the fire via www.kcra.com "livewire" live shots from the helicopter,showing the tanker drops and helio drops.the day the fire started,there was some awesome shots of torching and crowning of the fire activity.if you have a scanner,,airattack is 168.325,helco is 135.020,and fire ground is 159.345

last night the P2V neptunes T44 and T06 were flying out of MCC was cool to here those big radials passing over my house

also i havent heard the numbers yet,,but i heard that thursday grass valley ATB set a state record ( well it was reported as a "record" im assuming state) for two this,,one amount of turn overs,,meaning amount of times the tankers were rotated in and out in one day,and the most gallons of mud in one day,the record was over one million before....
 
Hope all is well on your homestead John. Pity to see the area burnt. Have fond memories of the area. Stepdad was super for tunnel construction during hydro-construction during early '60s. Pollack Pines was our 1st town that we immigrated to in California. Learned how to squirell hunt in those areas and how to train a squirell dog.


Please let us know how you make out.
