The Air Force is evacuating the Academy.
Isht just got real. But in all seriousness, I wonder when they are going to call in proper military to just start mowing down massive fire breaks ahead of the flames. They did that when Laguna Beach burned back in the 90's. A decision was made that all homes north and west of the ridge were lost. Then proceeded to take 35 ft off the top of the ridge to create a flat 60ft fire break to stand their ground. It worked then...

As a wildland Firefighter. one piece of advice to you guys. We never find dead people among those who got out early. If they advise you to be ready to leave at a moments notice, that is the time to get out, not in the latter mad rush with clogged roads, heavy smoke and panicked people. Stuff can be replaced, people not so much.
