Almost 9pm here in Plumas County, not far too from the #LoyaltonFire NW edge.
My friend's husband, who texted me those pics, is a retired Reno FD firefighter, and he says our town is totally safe right now in Portola.

Apologies to my regular twitter followers for my tweeting non stop about the #LoyaltonFire for going on Day 3 now...but one edge of it is very close to home. Evacs less than 20 miles away. So worried for my rural neighbors

Bordertown is where you stop and eat and gamble on the way into Reno. Popular for RV parking. The #LoyaltonFire is closing all the roads we take to town once or twice a month.

This is where they have lanes like a toll booth, you stop your car before entering CA from NV with infected produce.
