If anyone needs a place to shelter their horses due to the Walker & Wye Wildfires

7. Thank you for giving this publicity. Here in Lake County Calif

We are all amazed that these two local fires are getting publicity.

Back in July, while the Colorado fire was raging, we had a fire of BIGGER size raging as well, just north of here in the Mendocino National Forest.

Sacramento and SF Bay area news media were offering up live feeds from their affiliates in Colorado - with NO mention of the fire that was right here.

Apparently the news teams are given so little funding from the parent companies that they cannot afford to send reporters the three hours north to get a bit of the news.

But now both SF Bay Area and the Sac news media are covering these fires. I don' t know what happened to turn the tide at station management, but what ever it was, thank goodness!

Some 400 people had to rely on a Red Cross shelter last night, after being evacuated from their homes. And today, some 45 households relied on the Red Cross and other local volunteers to provide meals.

I have my fingers crossed that the fires will be contained soon.
