Electronic id cards, emergency roadside service, i can even submit a claim. Wow. Yep, geicos mobile app works like a charm. Geico. You can actually see the smoke trail stretching for miles, the fire has burned nearly 96 homes, and 213 other buildings but firefighters are making progress getting it under control. Today its 26 contained. Thats up from just 4 been evacuated. I didnt want to leave, because i didnt want to sit in that Little Valley with all that smoke around us again. It was like we were trapped. Calmer winds and higher humidity are helping the more than 1500 firefighters battling the fire to get things under control. Here at home, our driewght keeps getting worst. Most of massachusetts dealing with extreme conditions and there is not much rain in our future. John monahan found out many fire crews are concerned the threat of flames supply of what they use to fight it is going down. Not once but several times in the last few weeks quincy returned to this burned out area in the blue hill, a brush fire that started ten days a i coe kept going back to life. We were out there all day monday and back up monday night for a little while and then came tuesday in the day we were up there and we finally got it tuesday. Getting water up there is no truck. Firefighters filled one engine, then shuttled water up to another engine, and finally to a third. The fire, about a half mile deep into the woods. Theres no hydrants up in that area. So, its so dry, we have to keep shutting water back. The drought made this fire especially tough. Dry conditions called for much more water than usual. So, here is the blue hills reservoir here. Water that evaporates from hiewrl and hardtoreach areas that are now bone dry. Its so deep and its pete, because theres so many layers of dry vegetation you need a soaking rain or thousands of gallons of water. 50,000gallons of water pumped up here tuesday alone finally seemed to put it out.

Not very high humid but it crept up a little bit. Typical august afternoon i would say. Not overly hot. These showers, they are down here and moving away. No beneficial rain out there today. All over new england. Its just about dry, just about every where in new england. So, we are looking to the tropics for some relief because thats what we need is some tropical rainfall, not so much the storms. Two areas we are watching, this looks like a little spin starting to occur with it. This has developed, thats Tropical Storm fiona, we have been talking about her. 45 Miles Per Hour wind and the latest track pushes her west northwest at 10 Miles Per Hour and circles her but weakens also to a tropical depression, and really takes a turn to the right. At least thats where most of the computer guidance models are. Always have to look at the whole area here, not just the center point. It can still vary from way to another. It can go outside the cone as well. Thats is the most likely area for the storm to go these are the spaghetti plot, most of them are clustered and you get a spread out here, less certainty in the models and get further out in time. Thats typical. The only one of concern is the british model, the u. K. Model takes it right into bermuda. The others keep it to the east except for the outliers. I dont expect the storm to go that way but the other storm can go to the south and towards the caribbean. Something we have to watch. One at a time. 87 in bedford. Thats right now.
