[Mldxcc] [NCCC] K6KM, N6RER and the Concow Fire

[Pat Barthelow]

What a sad situation:

The local (Sacto) TV news says folks in Paradise are locking themselves in their houses to avoid talking to the Fire fighters who
are knocking on doors,  doing mandatory evacuation orders, and the home owners at risk are planning to risk it all to defend their homes...
What an awful choice..  In Big Sur, such confrontations often had the final response of the Fire professionals to the folks staying, 
to ask them for the names of their dentists.....for ID purposes, if needed.

73,    All the best,
