Reno did the fire thing 2 years ago. That was the summer I moved here. I had to go to a doctor for medication my asthma got so bad. Plus there was ash falling from the sky and constant smoke overcast... pretty much the same deal as LA / SD, but on a little smaller scale.
Then there was the Oakland Hills fire. On of Austins and my friends lost his house in that. Best Xmas card evAr: A picture of our friend Glen and his sister standing in the smoldering wreckage with the caption: "From our house to yours, Merry Christmas"
As far as the current fires, hopefully the wind/humidity will shift like they're predicting and the firefighters will be able to set some good backfires to stall the main front's advance. Then they can just let it burn out w/o threatening anymore homes and lives.
