Rosie, Thanks so much. Yes, my DH's aunt is still in Yucaipa. I just got her current address so I'm going to look it up. I left my nephew a message on his cell phone. You stay safe too, Rosie!

Still haven't heard from Dan down in the San Diego area. I just emailed his mom who is still here. My daughter had an address, but we can't remember if it was from before or after he moved! Anyway, he wasn't right in the city, but in Imperial Beach. Now I just have to find out if that's the current or old address! Accck!!! This is making me nervous. I can't imagine what it's like for the people living out there!

Pamy, many prayers for Bill & the animals that they make a safe trip.

From what I've watched on the news, CA IS doing an amazing job. My heart is with you all.

Wow..that photo is scary.

I hope so much that the winds will die down, or not start up again tomorrow. But I gather it may be a double edged sword, in that a return to normal onshore breeze may move fire into other areas.

I'll add Bill to my list, Pamy!

Watching, still ok in Yucaipa.

Pamy and Bill and Moonie and Cowboy, you guys are all too much.

Treasure, should I head for Arizona? lol

Actually, would probably head towards Palm Springs. Smoke there too but have not heard of any fires there.

Thank you, Rosie. At the moment, I'm concerned about her health because of the smoke. I wish I could get in contact with someone there. I would make me feel a whole lot better. I agree, Pamy, Bill, Moonie, Cowboy... your dedication is awesome. I know others have offered help as well and I think you're awesome, too! :-)

Well, Rosie, if you go to Palm Springs and the smoke is bothersome there, you can always keep driving into AZ. You would be most welcome to come visit.

I went to pick up one of the fosters at shelter a little bit ago (Bill took her so she could be with him at wk and not wiht siblings due to extra stitches from being fixed)....

so I get there and all the girls in office are like 'OHHHH!! your Bill's wife??? nice to meet ya..so great to meet ya..blah blah blah...

so now I am thinking "great! they are all cking me out and I look awful"...makeup half gone, hair mess from wind, then I get pup and she is excited to see me, jumps in my arms, I cuddle her and she licks my face, puts her paw on my cheek,and nuzzles my neck. all the girls are around talking to me and watching me get love from dog, then I feel something on my face and neck, it was SHIT!

the girls were horrified and ran to get baby wipes and kept saying how sorry they were....I said 'and to think, 5 min ago I was worried ya all would think I looked like shit!! "

they all were ROTF!

had to share a funny story amist all this bad news

LOL Yep, lots of smoke to comment about, too.

I do hope that all this comes to an end very soon for all of you.

And that pup let them know they were correct in their opinion.

Lol.. "that little SHIT!"

Hotness abounds. Hotness is good (except when caused by fire).

ROFL! It's good see everyone can still have a sense of humor with all that's happening! Pamy, you are so hot shit. LOL

My nephew called me from L.A. He said where they live they can't even SMELL any smoke. Yay. He thinks his great-aunt in Yucaipa should be fine. It felt good to talk to him. Thanks for the offer, Rosie. I think I'm just going to send off an email to her and her daughters.

I talked to a previous supervisor of mine who is part of a Type 1 Incident Management Team this morning. His team was called but they couldn't get enough of the people together to make the team. Apparently, this is a big problem they are coming across in getting personnel to handle the incidents. This team was the third team called who couldn't get enough of their members together and the majority of teams are listed as unavailable. His team has a few days to try to get it together because they were called from the regional list the first time and now they are in rotation for the national list and should be called again soon. A lot of the personnel from the teams have home job obligations or are on vacation.

I talked with our local dispatcher today. She was brought back in from lay-off status as of today. She said the only resource calls she's gotten for our area at this time is for Information Officers. That could all change at any time though.

I have a few more calls or emails to make in the morning to other supervisors I've worked with to see what they know but that's it.

I know that won't make sense to a lot of you but the teams are a group of 50 or so people who are specially trained in certain areas of incident management and then are brought in to manage all the other resources: division supervisors, finance, training, information, ground support, medics, liason with the communities involved, etc. Some are Type 1 teams and some are Type 2 teams. Most of the teams in the western states were out a lot this last summer on the Montana and Idaho fires and now are not available for other assignments. Hopefully, they'll get this resolved quickly.
