I know we have members in the area. I've been working the dispatch center in Quincy and was here when Greenville burned. The Dixie is doing as it likes, at best crews can herd it around towns, at worst watch them burn and try to help residents get out.
When I started in fire in the 90s 5000 acres was a big fire and you might hit one or 2 a that size in a year. Now 30000+ is common and these multiple hundred thousand acre fires happen every year.
Hoping the best for all in the path. I spent 6 month on the August complex last year, which went around 1 million acres.
