Friends,
Folks in my little town are anxious. Freaking out. There’s a little 2,200-acre fire not too far away, and we’ve had a tough time getting solid information about its progress. Clearly network teevee couldn’t really be bothered with the story. The newspapers surrounding the hill are making a cursory attempt, but as usual, the Town Crier has stepped up its game. Between their Facebook presence and their breaking news blog, they’re making the big media outlets look like chumps. Chumps!
What I’ve been looking for though, has been a map of the fire’s perimeter. It’s not on the InciWEB site, CalFire’s site, nowhere. Maybe there’s a map behind this group of people…
Ahh. There we go. Very helpful!
