More fires in New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho.

Larry Lyons:
There is smoke in the air where I live. (Northern CA) There is a fire near here. It is on the other side of the river which gives us a margin of safety. The smoke can be a health hazard though.

Immanuel:
My friends had to evacuate at 1:30 this morning because of the fire in Solano/Napa County. They are not sure if there house has been destroyed. This fire is heading towards very wealthy communities near Napa.

Richard Myers:
Have not looked at a fire map, but I think Angwin is on the fire side of Napa.

Immanuel:
Yes, but it is about 15 miles from Angwin and the fire is currently headed in the opposite direction. Lots of very expensive homes are now in danger.
