Not necessarily foolish (but maybe!).

Now we have near-instant info relayed via internet + effects of global climate shift. So... very different time/place.

And now we have a much more red sunset than I've seen in a while.

Smoke in the distance.

"In the distance" is a good thing.

If you don't have enough stressful apps in your life yet, PulsePoint has been useful for us. It reports all local fire/ambulance calls, and you can select specific incident types (e.g. "Vegetation Fire") to trigger an audible alert. Looks like Sonoma County is covered. There's also a web version at https://web.pulsepoint.org/
