Folks:

Some useful links:

NWS GACC

Wanna get e-mail notification of red flag warnings, weather warnings, earthquakes, etc? Go to The Emergency Digital Information Service.

Finally, a more somber subject. Chief Sully mentioned the Spanish Ranch fire a couple of times. Read the after action report here.

Have a great holiday, everyone!
