There's a huge plume of smoke coming off the Band Reserve near the north end of the airport. The police have access to the area closed at the bridge over the river channel. More details to follow as they become available.

Hell of a plan. I'm home for lunch right now, but my shop is quite a ways up the hill on the other side of the valley from the fire, should be able to get a decent snap or two if it's still burning.

The action was pretty short-lived. I just drove down the street a bit to get a closer look and it looks tame now compared to a little while ago. The smoke plume was huge, and that thick yellowy sort of smoke that you would associate with a grass fire. I got a couple of long range pics of the way it looks now but I don't have time to get them up. I'll do it after work.
