Hi, Everybody: Just sad, praying for all the fires and everything else. Our beloved planet is going through stuff too. I'm near Reno NV and in Plumas Ca....I can see the smoke. We had a major fire pretty close to where I'm at there were evacuations. I'm always praying. I just feel for the trees and all of it and pray for all the firefighters, everyone, and everything. Just a shame. I hope you all are doing OK and no one is dealing with this here. If you are I am praying constantly. Lots of hugs to you all.

@Teacher Terry, is Reno area having extreme heat too, like California. Fire is terrifying.

Edit. @cherylpamela66, I just noticed you are in that area too. Be safe.

We aren’t having extreme heat. I live right in town so will be fine. This fire is weird because the air quality is only bad in the afternoon and early evening. It’s been windy every afternoon which is bad and as of last night had zero percent containment. Usually during a fire the air is bad all the time.

The air guard is helping to fight it and it’s destroying homes and structures in the south which are really expensive. People are worried about insurance companies canceling policies in Nevada.
 
The Line fire in the San Bernardino Mountains east of L.A. 26,000 acres so far, 5% contained.
On the right, another fire in the Santa Ana mountains. 5,400 acres so far. And it's not even windy yet.

It’s heartbreaking in Reno. The wild horses were running for their lives. Some people had to set their horses free and hopefully they survived because they didn’t have a way to get them out to safety. Our air quality is terrible.

This is really sad and something I hadn’t even thought of before. People having to let their horses go cause they couldn’t protect them. How tragic. My prayers are sent to them all.
 
Thank you all so far Sierra Valley we are all OK....my family and I shop in Reno quite often it's a nice City like everything just a shame just sending so many prayers to everyone the animals and all of it. I heard the Park fire burned close to 430,000 acres. UGH. Lots of love and hugs to you guys all the firefighters and other personnel.Beautifu Angel Prayer.jpg
 
Probably sounds counter-intuitive, but it's when forestry services started fighting every single forest fire that we see a rapid increase of wildfires and far more intense ones. Even worse, trees and shrubs that don't normally flourish in forests, for good reason, are flourishing because we keep putting out forest fires that would clear that crap out.

Those trees and shrubs steal water from the pines that belong there, and choke out their roots. They turn pristine pine forests into jungles. Forests are ugly compared to how they looked for centuries before we started fighting Every Single Fire.

We should only fight fires that threaten human lives and ones that were started by humans. Wildfires actually preserve forests....or, they used to. Now, thanks to decades of intervening, they burn much, much hotter, travel much farther way faster, and they can cause fire storms/fire tornadoes, which is a fairly recent phenomenon.

And don't forget the (mostly) wealthy, building homes deep into forested areas that were previously uninhabited. That has gone a long ways in starting fires in once remote areas.

And guess who subsidizes their homeowners insurance? Hint: same ones who subsidize the insurance on lavish beach houses that occasionally slip into the ocean due to predictable landslides.
