According to Google Maps, the fire is about 9,000 feet from my house, but I'm not going to start worrying unless it jumps McCarran which doesn't sound likely right now.

You can park some stuff at my house if you need. I have space for a trailer along the west side of the house (paved and all). Keep us posted and good luck.

That's Hot.
How is the fire? I'm looking across towards your neighborhood now Dean, and I can't really see the orange glow on the hill any more. Hopefully it's died down a little bit

That was from right at 10:05. Still looks pretty much the same now at 11:05 PM. Headed up the hill.

I believe that is known as a Caughlin Burn.
![]() Fire planes, big and little from out at Stead fly over every few minutes. I think 2 of each, and at least one of the big Chinook helicopters.

Wow, just got back from lunch and that fire looks aggressive! The smoke is starting to get real black now too.

Yeah, there was some awfully dark smoke coming up right at noon. I'm thinking some structures are gone, whch probably means homes.

No homes lost thus far according to the media. It is probably just into the thicker fuels.

That shit looks REAL bad now from out my way. I've got bits of ash falling all the way out here on Vista. Can't even see the west end of town.

Well, the wind shifted and now my house is getting smoked out. Which is doing wonders for my asthma and chest cold.

That sucks. Can you breathe through a damp cloth or something?

Double dosage of Albuterol seems to help... and the wind is shifting again, so it's getting better. Plus my air conditioner does a pretty good job of filtering it out as long as all the windows are shut (take that Dean's swamp cooler!).
At this point it's really too late since my asthma has been set off by my cold, and worsened by the smoke... the fluid's already in there... a mask won't help me cough it up to breath easier. I suck.

![]() I use the former on my furnace that I run part time to move air around and use CoolPad Plus pads in my cooler which don't have a MERV rating, but allegedly blocks 89% of pollen, dust and airborne particles. I can smell the smoke, but it is quite subdued compared to the outside. If you have a well sealed home and a good AC filter, you shouldn't smell much of anything inside, but most homes leak like a sieve. In that case, the positive pressure of the evaporative cooler may well be better as almost all the air in the house has been filtered by the pads.

The kids and I watched the choppers picking up water from the Truckee and a little pond in Caughlin yesterday evening. Pretty impressive coming in that fast with crosswinds, powerlines, houses, trees, and steep hillsides (not to mention civilian gapers nearby).
