The fires have been mapped at 64.1 acres by FIRIS OES Intel 24. The perimeter is now viewable on the Watch Duty map.

Fire perimeter maps indicate the general burn area but do not detail the measures being taken to protect buildings and homes. Even if a building or home is within the marked fire perimeter, it doesn't necessarily mean it has been damaged or destroyed. These maps are preliminary and may be updated.

I didn't get much writing done during my self-created retreat. I developed sciatica on the right side during the drive to #Buellton. The hotel chair was not right for me no matter how I tried to arrange pillows, so sitting was excruciating.

Still, I did feed ostriches and emus ... but there is no photographic evidence of my activities at #OstrichLand because I was alone. So, here's someone else doing it.
