Okanogan County is burning... update 9/1 picture

[inkjunkie]

Starting to see some ash falling here in southern Stevens County

Us here in NorCal are also fighting a krap load of fires.  Nothing immediately near where I live but north of the Bay is where the fires are.

 

[inkjunkie]

Winds have shifted, blowing from the NW. Which is where the closest fire is.

Yep here too, blowing so hard here, you might as well just get out of the way.

Winds have pretty much died out, at least here in southern Stevens County.... for now. Good portion of the smoke is gone...
Haven't seen much news on the Carpenter Rd fire. 5% contained, have done a lot of work for structure protection.
Hope the District fire chief takes me up on my offer of doing some bbqing for these brave souls that risk their lives for the rest of us.

At our location the fire level is finally down to 1.... good news....

 

[bmudd14474]

That is really good news Dave. Stay safe.

 

[inkjunkie]

Outstanding....

Some outfit put up a series of pictures of the fires in Okanogan County compared to the size of the City of Seattle.....

Glad your risk is down Dave. Stay safe everyone.

Glad your down to level 1.  Just saw a story on cbs news with the Omak fire department.  I don't know how old the footage was, but things looked bad!  Be safe.

Hey Dave

Things must be getting even worse in your neck of the woods.  Omak made it onto the Canadian National News last night.

Stay safe

Gary

 

[daveomak]

Omak is OK... the rest of the county is in bad shape now... miserable smoke everywhere...

 

[inkjunkie]

Has the wind picked back up Dave?

 

[daveomak]

3-5 from the SSE...

We are getting the smoke here in Denver. Can't even see the foothills ar all today. Fell bad for yall in the line of fire (pun intended) but glad we don't have the fires this year

 

[inkjunkie]

We had a fair amount of smoke today, but no ash.

 

[inkjunkie]

We are under some sort of inversion, whatever that is. Fire chief said that is why we are buried in smoke again. They are slowly gaining control on the Carpenter Rd fire
