Fire appears out or at least under control and traffic on Ygnacio is pretty normal for this time of day as of about 3 p.m.
thank you so much!! I was worried for my commute!!
How many has that been in the past two weeks?
My count is eight fires in the last few weeks. Gonna be a busy fire season I suppose. Hope for the best.
Traffic on YVR is no worse than it normally is.
Used to live right there – neighbor says that the fire came right down to their back fence line!! Pretty scary stuff!! I’m glad it’s out (or at least contained!)
Diablo Hills? Of course it is as hot as coals.
Bet it was the old exploding golf ball gag again.
Ygnacio Valley Road traffic was not affected as it’s bumper to bumper anyway. Thank you Fire Department for handling this so efficiently.
Fires don’t just start on their own.
