Another Fire....this one is worse, and a lot closer...

This fire started around 11am I think, its been burning and spreading for over 3 hours.
This fire is visible from our backyard but is thankfully on the south side of I-80, which it
will have to cross before it threatens our house.  The Reno PD and FD have 4th street
blocked west of McCarran and it doesn't look good for structures in that area.  We took
a drive to see how close we could get to the fire....

The smoke is everywhere




The below two are shots from out back patio





The next few were shot driving eastbound past the fire on I-80









4th Street Blocked Off


After we got home from our little drive by the choppers were going over our back yard back and forth with water.  
They were landing nearby in the golf course I think, where they filled up with water and returned to fight the blaze...













Here is a good shot from our back patio. You can see how close these helicopers were.
