[Elecraft] California Fires

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Sad news.  Glad to hear all the NCCC members are safe.

I fought wildfires but nothing like those.  We had one in Montana in 
2006 but I became a FF after that fire.   The 2006 fire burned over 100k 
acres and took about 30 homes and buildings.  Montana does not have the 
housing density that CA does.  We lost an engine in that fire when they 
could not see the road from the heave smoke and rolled it into the 
Stillwater river.  We could have lost the entire crew.  A few sustained 
injuries but we were lucky.

When they tell you to get out.  Please do.  You really don't want to be 
in the middle of it.

Stay safe!
