Just to be perfectly clear, im only speaking for the city of vacaville. So we are working under the cal fire has incident command of the entire incident. So were a small portion of that fire.

We appreciate you taking the time to join us this morning. Were thinking of you and everybody in that community. So thank you so much, chris, we appreciate it. Thank you. And reassuring voice, but you when you hear that 2,000 to 3,000 homes are threatened, that is a lot of people. And as you heard the chief say, they are concerned about the Browns Valley area and they will let us know when those people need to be put on notice that they may have to leave. In the middle of the night, such a traumatizing thing to get that phone callerr knock on the door. Chaens the th e all teo phehate for thet prepared forhis and t didnt have the bag packed rdy i s one thing that they bukedealing with. Wet wiloheok at what is going on wi the conditions up there. There are environmental winds. And i keep using that term because wew ono k tweather. The hotter theeir f more rapid the air rises. You cant have a vacuum in the atmosphere, so it has to suck in that will increase the wind speed and the likelihood of embers being tossed about and starting spot so right now it is 78 degrees, ad wok t o ur20 Miles Per Hour coming out of the west. That will create greater danger for fire spread, but it will also take just a little bit of the heat out of the forecast today. Ds90 to near 10 week. 110 so it will put a little bit of the heat out of the atmosphere, but at night it will also bring in the humidity pu the w meari way. W going to have different isesues to deal with as we get deeper into the forecast. The winds willk ic p temperatures drop just a little bit. Thank you, mike.
