Pleasant Valley fire, east of 395
Here we go again. Fiercely windy downtown, I can't imagine what it's like at the fire site.

Yeah, the smoke is pretty thick here in the south.

It's gone from 40 acres to 500 in less than 2 hours, and it's about a mile or two south of my house, and just across the valley from Khail's place (unless he's moved in the last year or so).
The "Andrew Fire": http://www.nv.blm.gov/wgbcc/Updates/...nd%20Notes.htm I was scheduled to go look at a house down there after work today... probably not going to happen.

This fire was allegedly started by someone shooting a firearm in the area. He/she reportedly came forward with this information.
Here are a few pics I shot while driving down 431 this afternoon. |

I just got a Fuji S602 like Scott's for $250 on ebay, looks brand new.
Cameras are cheap if you don't need to go bleeding-edge.

As of last night the fire burned 4000 acres, and was only 10% contained. But this morning, I couldn't see any smoke from the area, so I'm guessing it's pretty well under control.

This morning, I heard 8. I heard most were in a cul-de-sac. Can you imagine? Yours & all your neighbors' homes burned down. A real shame.
Also a good reminder, that each one of us should have some sort of a fire evacuation plan, so we wouldn't have to try to figure it out in the heat of the moment. |

I already figured mine out.
If a fire starts....run like hell. Don't try and save anything (unless its a pet, roommate, etc...) since its all covered by insurance.

I only have one thing that's irreplaceable... data. I really should back up all my hard drives onto DVD or something and archive 'em off site... like in my office or something. Everything else I have is either a material object, or documents that would be a bitch to replace, but not impossible. All I know is, I'd be very difficult to re-paint all the artwork I've done in Photoshop, or all the projects I did at Cal Poly, etc.

Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

What I'd like to know is the exact source of ignition. The actual shooting? The Reno Gazette Urinal won't say.......but they like the fact that the "perp" was a target shooter....
