Dahboo77's vid posted today. So sad, adding insult to injury with all the animals sick from fallout and whatnot- :) I pray the firefighters will get this stopped SOON.

I thought to post again about this in view of future fires bound to occur with a dried out West Coast (in places). If a fire occurs in your area, it will be a 'better safe than sorry' thing for everyone to use at least a Niosh95 or P100 mask when outside. All the pines that absorb Cesium rads will release all the rad materials when burning, into the air. I haven't seen anyone showing any readings with their Geiegers in fire zones but like I said, it's better to be safe than inhale that cr*p.
