So Homestead Road magically turns into Sunset at the top, although same road?
appears so
Not the same road. Homestead is a loop. Sunset Ridge connects on both ends with Homestead.
They had drones and planes up there for a better part of the afternoon. It smoked up a better part of the area. Hope it’s put out fast!!
Any idea if this still going? Live on Spyrock in northern mendocino and smoke is rolling in. Nothing on calfire website.
I know this ones done but the aircraft leaving right before dark doesn’t always mean the fire is coming under control. It could mean they are returning to base before dark also..
I saw a few drones and planes circling the area today near the fire. Got paranoid until I realized it was for the fire. Hope they got in under control.
I rusee much monee.
The Bowl’s on fire! Is everyone alright?
