I'm not sure if somebody made an announcement, but I did get a watch duty fire alert, and I just noticed how much smoke is coming out of this fire just north of Verdi.
00:16
Yeah, T6ST, (name withheld) gave us a report on it as well.
00:19
He lives over there, up on the top end of Robb Drive in that area.
00:24
He said the report that he had seen for it, it was still small at the point that he reported it to us.
00:31
Said it was about two acres.
00:33
I don't know if it's coronated or if they've got it handled or what's going on.
00:37
Do you have any more information on it?
00:42
Watch Duty, I just opened the app on my phone.
00:44
Phone says
00:46
80 acres, and it looks bigger than that from here.
00:50
Lots of smoke, and they're doing some pre-warning evacuation stuff right now.
01:00
That is the bull fire there in Verdi, isn't it?
01:04
Yep, that's correct.
01:06
I just wanted to give everybody a heads up.
01:07
There's another one.
01:09
That's it for me today.
01:11
No other traffic.
01:12
This is (name withheld), KE6YOC.
01:18
Just a warning, if you live out in that area, keep an eye on it because it sounds like it's growing quite rapidly this morning.
01:26
I made it with the warmer temperatures and the sunshine.
01:30
That stuff's pretty tender.
01:40
Sorry, I broke there.
01:41
I had a couple of sneezes come on.
01:43
So if you live out in that area,
01:46
keep an eye out and bring up the watch list to see where the fire's at.
01:51
Make sure you keep your phones or notifications handy
01:54
in case you get an evacuation notification.
01:57
The fires around here this year have been no joke.
01:59
They've done a lot of damage and they've moved pretty quick around here.
02:06
I had a friend one time.
02:07
He was, they got, he worked.
02:09
NDF and he got a call from command.
02:12
He says, "Get in your truck and move now."
02:15
And they were kind of going, "Okay," and they just listened and obeyed because where they were stationed at, the fire front was moving at 15 mi an hour across the ground.
02:25
So a little quicker you walk and a little quicker you want to run in front of, for any length of time.
02:29
So
02:30
the fire's around here.
02:32
We'll move quick.
02:38
Anybody else want to check in with any information or just want to check in and say hi?
02:48
W6US with info.
02:54
This is Kilo Kilo 7, November Echo Victor, on Washoe Valley, KK7NEV with a hi.
03:08
Ready, let's go to Jim.
03:10
W6US, whatever you have for us, Jim.
03:17
Well, the bull fire is showing 80 acres, probably a little more than that now.
03:23
It's headed to the northeast away from Verdi, and that they've just finished making a series of drops tying in from the hawk fire burn scar along the entire south edge.
03:38
So that should help prevent any getting down into the Verdi, West Verdi mobile area.
03:46
So it's headed off to the northeast and that along the west side of the hawk fire.
