Locally we are OK, living in farm land does have some benefits. The winds so far have kept the smoke blowing away from us mostly. The Dixie fire is a little close to the MIL's house, but it seems to be moving in another direction at the moment. They bring in the VLAT's (Very Large Air Tankers) when the smoke raises up enough. One drop from the DC-10 equals 12 drops from the smaller tankers. There is a "local" facebook page that is good about giving updates on the fires. I watch where the tankers are working on flightaware24, it shows the type of aircraft also.Morning man, hows everything in your direction...
