I live in Kali, and I haven't seen these great machines.

This is a critical upcoming few days with the Biscuit Fire in Oregon. There will be some winds from the NE and some warmer temps.

If those containment lines can be really joined on the west and hold, that fire may be contained until the fall/winter rains come.

The problem is that in Sept/Oct in Curry County, the weather often will cause Banana Belt Days or the Chetco Effect. A high builds up in Eastern Oregon/Nevada. This causes north winds to come done to N.Kali.

That causes a NE wind in Curry County to send the air rushing downhill to Brooking and other cities on the coast. The air heats up and Brookings can be 90 degrees during one of these Banaa Belt/Chetco Effect Days. That NE wind could blow some burning embers from the burning Kalmiopsis wilderness area down in the Chetco and Pistol Rivers canyons, and that would be diaster.

Fortunately today in the Kali Wine Country we have coastal cloudiness and no wind. For a large part of the week we have had a very drying North wind. Irrigated plants, shrubs and flowers that stay moist in high heat with normal irrigation have gotten very dry this past week. I have had to double the irrigation re minutes and go to twice a day versus once a day. I was fishing at Putah Creek below Lake Berryessa, Thursday. That whole area was as dry as a fire tinder.

So where are those 3 Fire Tracks in Kali? We may need them.
