Holy shit! The Mexican Diablos firefighters are here! All joking aside (and yes, they really are here) the fires south of Alpine have grown to 3000 acres and firefighting teams from North Carolina are in route. The winds have increased and are expected to get worse later this evening. The fire is about 65% contained and was started as a controlled burn. Then the winds changed. Wonder whose fault this is!
I just got this update from the 6:00 o'clock news. Also, the fire is now approaching homes which it was not doing earlier but no evacuations as of yet.
I was outside and saw one of the planes with the flame retardant fly over and there were 2 helicopters heading towards the airport most likely to refuel. Scary.
It is amazingly dry. The humidity is 2%.
Just an update...later..................
