from another source:
The State of California’s wildfire emergency management agency, CalFire, was alerted that 200 people were entirely encircled in fire. They formally declared them beyond the ability of CalFire to save, The CA National Guard spun up 2 helicopters, a Blackhawk and a Chinook, and headed out to help. On the ride over, CalFire called them repeatedly to call them off and tell them to go back to base as it was too dangerous.
Flying using night vision through high cross winds, smoke, burning embers and rough terrain, the CA NG took off and landed several times, rescuing all 200 people. Their efforts were captured through their own pictures-it looks positively apocalyptic. Huge, huge props to the CA NG, pretty remarkable.

Uh oh, sure sounds like a perfect evening for a brewski or two on the deck of my favorite watering
hole.....doubt we'll get another one of these days. Foliage is pretty damn gorgeous on a day like
this around these parts too. See ya.

Ditto on that in Buffalo. Just came out on the balcony with a crisp Kolsch-style from Mill House (Poughkeepsie) before heading over to gf for dinner later.

Thanks for posting that! I have friends with kids that are navy SEALS. Always happy to hear that they got in and out safely.

Look at all our leftist anti-military types cooing about this SEAL.

They're all the same folks that whined about Trump killing Qassim Soleimani and Al Baghdadi.
