Angora Fire - Lake Tahoe

Unless you have been hiding under a rock lately, you have probably heard about the fire in the Lake Tahoe region. Up here, it is known as the Angora Fire. While they had it 40% controlled earlier in the day and were allowing people back to see what might be left of their homes (over 200 burned so far), winds picked up and the fire jumped the fireline. This is BAD. Now, more and more people are being evacuated from other areas, known as Tallac Village and Tahoe Keys.This is all homes (your tract-type area).

Anyone remember the Oakland Hills fire in 1991? Nearly 3000 homes were destroyed in that wildfire. I remember seeing the fire when we were returning from Las Vegas. We could see it hundreds of miles away.

I mention it, because this fire has the potential to cause damage on a larger scale than that fire, with winds expected to be over 20 miles an hour tomorrow. I hope to God not. Please pray that the firefighters get this under control, with God's help.

If I am asked to deploy there to provide medical to CalFire (CDF), yes, I will go.
