Kettle Run Fire, Again

Also, regarding the same about fire reporting, news outlets will always suck at it, because they want you to give them your email in order to "continue reading". A crisis is perfect for them to try and gain more subscribers. Once you're in, you'd have to fight through the ads in order to determine if your family is safe or not, or what action you should take.
We need citizens throughout the state who will feed all the information into a free, central monitoring outlet for the latest fire information.

I use https://www.sectionb10.org/ for info. They report on all the section fires. You have to scroll way down the page, but they are informative. I’m guessing this is separate from the previous since they gave it a new name and kept the report of the other fire up.

One of the best maps available for the woods. I heard that Boyd's Maps will be adding it soon.
Forget it, we already have goofy crap included on the fire site enormiss posted.One of the best maps available for the woods. I heard that Boyd's Maps will be adding it soon.
Actually this is the best map. Created by my granddaughter when she was still in kindergarten (she's in high school now). I printed maps of the little trails on my property and we did "treasure hunts" on her visits. So, she made her own ("this is a map") from her home on the "NooYrk Side" to Grandpa's house in the "wuds" (woods).
OK, sorry for taking this serious thread farther off-topic. I agree there should be an official site for info on any hazards that could affect us - guess I just assumed there was such a place. That's the kind of thing we're supposed to depend on the government for, not commercial websites or cable networks. It also concerns me the degree to which government is outsourcing infrastructure to big tech companies like AWS (amazon). I get it... private companies are doing it better for less money. But there just seem to be some fundamental conflicts of interest.
