The "Fire Tornado" #LoyaltonFire is less than 20 miles away.

Here's some photos my friend took on the road sometime this afternoon.

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. 🙏 for Vinton + Chilcoot

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.
I ❤ Bordertown 🙏

Have heard from 2 different people the "bug station" aka Agricultural Inspection Station on 395N was burnt down (?) Or damaged (?)

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