I learned from the @DRIScience conference on #Wildfires two weeks ago that people often wait too long to evacuate and cause traffic jams and accidents (or worse). Please DO NOT WAIT to evacuate for everyone’s sake. Let the first responders get in while you get out.

Radar rendering of the #DavisFire's plume spreading over Reno on 09/07. Perhaps you had ash falling in your yard? on your car? If so, send us photos of ash particles, a size reference (e.g., coin), a time, and a location. See example from @DRIScience's Tim Brown. @UNRScience
