Thanks, Roger. I wondered why I was smelling smoke here at 154/Foothill. Hope it gets put out quickly.
Engine 5 in service..
Sounds like they might be mopping it up or close.

Roger, thank you a thousand times. Where in the world would we be without you?
There would be someone else. Thanks
Someone else may be able to report the news, but, they can not tell the stories like you do. Or be funny with their posts. I for one will stick with you! You add to my life even though we have never met, yet.
The 101 is open according to the CHP. There is concern that the eucalyptus trees north of Calle Real could catch on fire. Roger, is there anyway you can inform us readers on Edhat when the fire is totally out? It’s especially important for persons living north of the 101. Thanks
Thanks just having a real rough time right now everything is unpredictable and I’m scared.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I completely get the fear of unpredictable. Hang in there though because I predict you will find your answers and they will be positive!
Thank You Very Much.
There are no replacements for you, Roger!
Roger, is there anything we can do to make things less unpredictable and scary? I’m sorry you have to deal with this.
Thank you Roger. That’s my hood. 😉
If there is no equipment there the fire is out.
I wish there was Thanks…
I’m afraid for my cat because he won’t stay in the house and they had to treat the property for rodents there is nothing I can do about it he won’t stay in he’s very strong..He is my partner and I don’t want to lose him especially not in this way all he doesn’t know any better…I’m trying to give him alot of food prayer is the only thing that has ever worked just prayer for my little guy.
Thank you, Roger, Edhat, Lauren (owner of Edhat), for keeping us safe by letting us know about fires right away. You’re the best! Updates, photos, videos…
La Cumbre/State, during Thomas Fire, gas stations working, and street lights working, no Edison caused emergency of turning off power. An emergency is an absence of choice (offered by Edison and PG&E); just look at the video and think about what would happen to traffic trying to evacuate, and people with little gasoline unable to fill their tank to evacuate (because gas stations need power to work pumps). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=solekt4Pt9Q
