Due To the Carr Fire There Will Be No Blogs This Week Or Next

Due to Shasta County and the Redding area ravaging in flames this week by the Carr Fire, there will be no blogs from me this week or possibly next week. I haven’t been at work since Thursday afternoon, and my family is trying to get our lives back on track. Our house in downtown Redding on Chestnut Street in the historic Breslauer Addition has survived the fire even though we were evacuated twice. A third evacuation for our neighborhood was lifted Sunday morning. 

Up-to-this-date, the Carr Fire has burned over 103, 722 acres. The fire which began by a vehicle malfunction at the Carr Power House has gone on to become the 7th most destructive fire in California State history according to the Record Searchlight and it continues to bring havoc to the North State. Here are some photos and video’s that I took of the Carr Fire...

The Carr Fire ravaging the Redding area on Thursday, July 26, 2018. I got rerouted from Eureka Way into this mess on Benton Drive passing through the 11th Street intersection and passing by the historic Diestelhorst Bridge. I was brought out to Sulpher Creek Hill at Miracle Mile and it took a very long time to get through the madness of people evacuating downtown.
