This is a crazy fire! Reports of multiple burn victims, abandoned vehicles blocking roadway access for emergency responders, multiple structures lost, evacuees unable to evacuate and sheltering in businesses while FF's try to protect them.

On Twitter go to #CampFire

#CampFire no firefighting efforts are being done right now. Everyone is being used for life safety. All along Skyway from Wagstaff to Neal are problems. Trying to get a dozer or loader to start moving cars. Right now fire engines are doing what they can.

#CampFire (Butte Co) - Both lanes of Neal Rd from Skyway are being used to evacuate vehicles westbound. FF's now reporting roof of the hospital is on fire in Paradise - trying to contain that.

*Note: Radio traffic indicated that they are losing water pressure in hydrants at hospital and requested all available water tenders.

Update: Per #CampFire AA the smoke column is collapsing generating extremely turbulent winds and erratic fire conditions, Air Attack May have to be suspended. #Breaking

Air Attack is calling it 9-10,000 acres easily. maybe more

#CampFire [update] off Camp Creek Road and Pulga Road, Jarbo Gap off Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon is now 18,000 acres. Evacuation orders established for Paradise, Magalia, Concow, Butte Creek Canyon and Butte Valley.

I've been listening to the Northern California Major Incident feed pretty much all day. Some dramatic moments, and around 4:00pm, reports of some fool flying a drone that was spotted by ground crews.

IC was saying that they were going to wrap up air operations around 5:30pm. I saw one of the last C-130 MAFFS aircraft lift off from McClellan around 5:25 pm, headed north.

Stay safe my friends.
