I had to go out for an hour but saw the smoke and know they are releasing a (VAST) number of engines. The Sac county chopper needed refueling but was simply released.
I didn't count but an easy 20 something engines dispatched or ordered, dozer and 3 hand crews; 3 choppers, air attack and lotsa overhead.
A lot less smoke on my return. Busy but winding down (still spots). A/A said two outbuildings and one structure involved.
I'll watch the news in a few. Second major fire here this year, both on a Friday, both FUBAR the traffic (Friday Flatlander Follies, we sell tickets in the winter).
