John E Davies Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This one is excellent: .Watch Duty - Stay safe from wildfires when seconds count We had three major fires explode yesterday, part of a nearby community was destroyed. None of the fires are even remotely under control at this time. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/aug/18/it-almost-sounded-like-a-warzone-wind-whipped-fire/ Stay safe, in wildfire season it is prudent to NEVER camp where there is no reliable cell signal! always have a second exit route available, avoid long one way back roads that can trap you before you are even aware of the advancing flames.

John E Davies Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Watch Duty screen caps. Tap a fire to get a pop up information screen. FYI the red shaded outline shows the BURN area, not the evacuation area.

John E Davies Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 AQI - my local source normally goes up to 500 in terms of color coding, I actually thought that 500 was the highest number in this country! Actually I think the brown should be black, unless they are saving that color for the apocalypse… or they could just use a skull and crossbones instead. ;( John Davies Spokane WA 1 2 SOLD 07/23 "Mouse": 2017 Legacy Elite II Two Beds, Hull Number 218, See my HOW TO threads: Tow Vehicle: 2013 Land Cruiser 200, 32” LT tires, airbags, Safari snorkel, Maggiolina Grand Tour 360 Carbon RTT.

Patriot Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Glad we don’t deal with these fires on the east coast.

In 20 years the eastern forests may be burning too. ;( But regardless, you will have to live with the @#$&* smoke from this side of the USA and from Canada and Mexico.

Speaking of which - Back in the day when I owned a pop-up camper, I bought what amounts to a reflective "tarp" for the canvas of the pop-up. This "tarp" certainly kept the tent area much more comfortable when exposed to the sun AND it also helped retain heat at night. Plus, it reduced wear on the canvas. These tent covers that are made by a company called Pop Up Gizmos can be found at: https://www.popupgizmos.com/ Bill 1 2 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Davies Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Not only do we have natural fires, we had a crazed homeless person set five in a row intentionally, and just yesterday we had a sixth that was “an unattended campfire”…! ”SPOKANE, Wash - A woman arrested for setting multiple fires in the West Hills neighborhood of Spokane last week told police she also set fires in the Dishman Hills area because she was upset about the housing situation in Spokane.” Investigators: West Spokane arson suspect told police she set Dishman Hills fires, too I think arsonists deserve special public punishment. My friend lost his shop building along with tractor, classic FJ40 and all sorts of personal belongings. 98% of the trees are gone. My daughter’s coworker lost her home, burned to rubble. This batch of fires is unusually close to heavily populated areas. I just ordered a roof sprinkler system, I plan to leave it up for the entire fire season every year. https://roofsaversprinklers.com/ Grrr.
