[SFDXA] Hams Assist with fires threatening

[Bill Marx]

I copied this from a much larger report on the fires threatening San Francisco's water supply and the Sequoias. Article is on USAToday.com

..."Local ham radio operators were providing community information in Sonora, Calif., where evacuees were being fed and housed. Carol Logue, with the Tuolumne County Amateur Radio Electronics Society, volunteered Sunday. She said the the smell of the fire was all around. "There's so much smoke it's really hard on people's lungs," she said. "You can get on the hilltops around here and see the fires."
