Something sparked a blaze early this morning and they're having a very bad time trying to get it together. It's been a rough year for my town, with the Air Races tragedy that killed 9 people, the stupid biker war in Sparks during our Street Vibrations event... Reno needs a break!
So far, 20+ homes are gone and 450+ acres are burning and counting. Zero percent containment...terrain is rough up there.

My father lives near the fires, but he says it's not coming his direction, thankfully. The 65 mph winds we're getting (not unusual for here) aren't helping, and there's a lot of dry brush and trees in that particular area.
All I have to do is complain that I'm gonna go smoke a pipe in my truck... :lol: TOO WINDY! 8)
