WILDFIRE UPDATE from WCK’s
@cheftkilcoyne
in Nederland, Colorado. We had prepared meals to support firefighters battling the CalWood Fire before the Lefthand Canyon Fire forced evacuations. Now, meals will be given to families here as we continue to see how we can best support.
We understand people in areas where wildfires are burning may want to use masks to help protect themselves from the impacts of smoke and poor air quality. Masks can provide some protection from smoke. Read BCCDC's advice on mask use during smoky events
This year, we’re facing the worst

Thread: Looks like misinfo about BC wildfires is spreading like wildfire. It doesn’t help those of us who live in the fire zone.

Winds seem to have calmed down a little but are erratic. They seem to have shifted due south. Structures have definitely been engulfed - we have binoculars are we can see. Awful night

If you’re new here, I started this account because I was concerned about the wildfires in British Columbia and near my city. Over time, the account has expanded to include other areas in Canada, the USA and the world.
See pinned post for more information.
Thank you!
Went and checked back in on Joe (and Echo), whose house in Meyers is just fine. He’s 66 today and I brought him some bananas (he loves to eat one every morning) and pastries.
He said he feels much better after yesterday’s emotional ride and might go down to SoCal to be w/his fam

CA BRUSH FIRE NEAR FUEL STORAGE TANK FARM- VO/AERIALS MON0261-Cal Fire & Contra Costa Fire units are at the scene of a 3-alarm grass fire burning Monday afternoon in Rodeo. KPIX helicopter coverage showed flames burning toward and partially around a fuel-storage tank farm there.
UPDATE: Overnight efforts to protect Strawberry Lodge and General Store appear to have been successful, with no reports of structure loss this morning.
