Probably my last full day of checking on updates since the fire is no longer an imminent threat to Los Alamos. Now I just have to keep an ear out for when my brother, nephew and my friends can return to their homes. Today I watched one news conference and some news videos, and found hi-res overhead images from LANL and some more fire maps, but mainly I watched Brian Osburn’s live streaming feed as he drove up Pipeline Road to check out the burn line firefighters placed yesterday. Even though he got permission to go off-road, he got into trouble with police when they were waiting for him as he got back to town. He was an incredible source of first-hand information that helped me pass updates along to my brother who wasn’t getting much info on his own in Santa Fe.
Fire acreage: 113,000
