🔥 Day 4 (Saturday) - As of a couple hours ago there is still power on Bigfoot Hill and a small group of neighbors there, working hard. They're keeping an eye out for fires and looters, as well as working on properties to make them more fire-proof. Webcams indicate that a crew is running chainsaws near Empire Ridge to clear more trees.
The spot where the is ❌ on the map (.3 miles from 🏡) flared up a few times yesterday and then again this morning. Rumor has it that the Felton volunteer fire department, with the heroic assistance of an inmate firefighters, has it under control again this afternoon. We also hear that CalFire may be doing a water drop with one of their helicopters. We're just hoping there's no more lightning tonight.
I can't quite explain how these last few days have felt - it's alternately heart-wrenching and hopeful, and so so exhausting. Nights are hard because we know the wind picks up and social media quiets town.
