    If anyone affected is down in South Bay for whatever reason and needs anything let me know. Not sure what help I can be on this weekend but I think I should have some time and can offer my Taco for transportation of people/supplies.

    Friend in the area says a Santa Rosa gun store and tire shop have burned to the ground. That means fire in the city. Damn.

    Been there for hours.

    I thought we’d be okay when the fire jumped the freeway (6 lanes plus frontage roads) because we were 2 miles away through concrete streets.

    It’s still moving though, lot of buildings. This is effecting a lot of people.

    20k+ acres so far, 0% containment. Air strikes supposed to start shortly if wind isn’t too strong. Winds supposed to remain until afternoon today.

    Yep the city is on fire. There are 60 fires reported in Santa Rosa as of now. My wife and I live downtown. We packed the truck and left. It's not safe at all right now.

    What a surreal way to wake up. The winds were howling 50+mph last night, it was crazy. We're safe tho, now we just wait and see if it spreads anymore.

    I work in South Bay, If anyone needs anything I can leave work to lend a hand. I can bring food, water or other supplies if needed. I can bring toys for kids, just say the word.

    Just watching/listening to news. This is crazy. I hope they can get air resources going asap. Especially the larger tankers.

    Had a chopper fly over us about 15 min ago. First sign of air support I’ve personally seen or heard.

    Fingers crossed.

    Lot of folks need it that’s for sure.

    Our own @ffdawson is on the fire lines today too, while his family got evac’d this morning so y’all keep an extra thought for him and his crew (in both senses).

    Sheriff’s Office?

    This was a red heli with a red tube hanging off of its belly. Passed us on its way north west of fire towards Healdsburg or maybe it’s pulling water out of Riverfront Park.
