4 miles south of me right now. 81 degrees and dry as popcorn. Big white spruce

Burned needles falling in my yard now. Can hear them hitting the deck roof.

Of course the FAA chose this very time to resurface the runway so we can't run retardant or jumpers out here at this time.

Might be a hot time in the old town tonight !

I hate summer !

Man....way early for dry heat and fire danger....that's why rain and cool is so good. Folks will be packing emergency things, just in case.

Great timing on the runway resurface. You would think that a high fire danger may have put off the job until more favorable conditions arrived.

4 miles is a-little-to-close-for-comfort in my opinion.
Good luck tonight

That sucks Ken! Lemonade approach might be to start digging and then bill the team for your hours later!

I hate summer too! The fun factor went out of that stuff a long time ago!

Hope you get some support up there. Too close for comfort!

Cooled of to about 48 right now. Wind was kicking up about 20 mph until midnight. Calm now.

Pretty smoky in town but the fire appears to be less active for the moment.

Can't pave a runway in freezing weather, only during warm months.

They dropped 12 guys on it and got one load of retardant on it but it is still uncontained.

The wind came around from SW to W and that has helped clear the smoke.

Tomorrow the wind is supposed to swing NW and then NE. That should help a lot

Grab a P---Pack and a bucket and get over there.

looks like some high pressure system you have with that straight up smoke tower
hope the pattern clears up soon.
