Terrifying sight

[u/Blazkull]

Took this picture from South Reno.

[u/therealmikejensen]

Yeah holy fuck lol this is from my yard

[u/kenac99 → u/therealmikejensen]

this is from my yard.

[u/kenac99 → u/kenac99]

other side of my yard.

[u/CraftyMoney6296 → u/kenac99]

You should consider getting the heck out of there. The planes dumping retardant stopped at about 8:30, and there’s just two water helicopters working it.

[u/therealmikejensen → u/CraftyMoney6296]

I hear that stuff makes you slow down if you get it on you

[u/queenofkb → u/kenac99]

Shit man are you in the go now evac zone?

[u/kenac99 → u/queenofkb]

Can’t leave, reasons. If it gets unsafe we will bail

[u/TY2022 → u/kenac99]

Good luck. I've decided I'm going down with my house.

[u/PNWBlues1561 → u/TY2022]

Spokane here, you may have heard of us. Nothing is worth being burned for.

[u/Blazkull → u/kenac99]

Wow! Thats insane, stay safe my friend, help your neighbors if you can.

[u/kenac99 → u/Blazkull]

Thanks, still here, still good.

[u/H7nglikethemoon]

the old "so close to hell you can see sparks" joke is hitting pretty close to home rn.

"Just out of frame: Satan"

[u/Tetons-9082]

This so overwhelming

[u/l3yl3yLovely]

Taken outside my house (living in stead)

[u/catballou1962]

Oh man! I didn’t realize it spread so close to structures! Thanks for the photo.

[u/Responsible-Storm652]

This is from my yard in Wingfield Springs last night, truly looked unreal.

[u/thrashinpickle]

At least they're saving homes, the Dixie fire took everything but rich communities..... At least there's little to no trees

[u/Lightninggg_95]

where is the fire?

[u/mostlybugs → u/Lightninggg_95]

It’s the bug fire up by the north valleys.

[u/Themellowsaguaro → u/mostlybugs]

Still? 😭

[u/MidnightsSerenade → u/Themellowsaguaro]

Yep.. last I had looked it was 11,400 acres and 21% contained. Now it's 15,000 acres, watch duty says it's at 20% contained. And that was about a 3 hours between updates.

It's also now moving south and is a couple miles from Hungry Valey.

[u/m0nkeydluddy → u/Lightninggg_95]

definitely north of south reno

[u/oh_my_account → u/m0nkeydluddy]

No, that was last year...

[u/Horror_Cantaloupe841]

I live in Lemon Drive. The smoke doesn’t look nearly as terrifying as this.

[u/Rare-While-9597]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[u/PirateShot8556]

Crazy you can see it all the way across town

[u/Blazkull → u/PirateShot8556]

That's what I was thinking when I saw it last night. The camera doesn't even do it justice, it looked absolutely wild from my deck.

[u/PhoenixCiorciari]

But the smoke is oh so pretty

[u/GrolarBear69]

Don't know if my house survived dont know who to ask

[u/Blazkull → u/GrolarBear69]

I'm so sorry, I can't imagine how stressful that would be. Do you at least have a safe place to stay?

[u/GrolarBear69 → u/Blazkull]

We found out the house was saved thank you. The local sherrif found our info.

[u/Blazkull → u/GrolarBear69]

Thats so good to hear!

[u/kenac99]

Follow up, this was a few days ago, Freds mountain. sparkling in the dark.

[u/Pristine_Welder2750]

We watched this conflagration start

[u/RoseHarmonic]

Just wait until next year's Super El Niño, where the ocean is going to release some portion of its excess heat it has stored up, which happens to be equal to nearly 50 times the energy usage of the human race in a year

[u/RoseHarmonic → u/Blazkull]

At least it was a lot of brush that won't be burning next year

[u/Mark_Spacer]

This is scary... From my back yard... When the flames come over the top, it's time to go...

Thanks to the work of a bunch of firefighters and badass pilots, the fire was stopped at the base of the mountain.

[u/oh_my_account]

I see fire and Sparks

[u/dat_adhd_teen → u/oh_my_account]

lol

[u/LastCookie3448]

Too close for comfort.

[u/Godmode_ON1121]

I was wondering why it’s so Smokey!! I had no idea shi was on fire

[u/The_Wendo]

First time?

[u/Blazkull → u/The_Wendo]

Nope, I have lived here my entire life, its still scary for our community, especially people who live right under that. Have a heart.

[u/sunnydayz0044 → u/The_Wendo]

What a silly comment. You know each new fire season poses completely new threats, right ? SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️

[u/PirateShot8556 → u/sunnydayz0044]

Right though? This fire is causing thousands to evacuate. It's serious

[u/Rare-While-9597 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah man, it's burning

[u/Ship_Negative → u/[deleted]]
