An update about today fire suppression activity and a good general overview of the fire so far.
I watched a 10 second clip of what they are dealing with on Bluesky.
How the absolute FUCK do you stop something like this?
You don’t. You pray the winds stop long enough to contain and finally put it out.

Well you deploy all of your firefighting planes and helicopters. Then you grab anyone in uniform who is duty bound to follow orders and you hand them a shovel.
Which is exactly what’s happening.
Some of whom are convicts working for $5 a day…
Some of them are only in prison instead of home release because of that slave labor.
Not supporting enslavement of the incarcerated, but in California, you can’t be forced to fight fires as a prisoner, it’s a volunteer position.
