This is a fantastic account of a Berkeley firetruck arriving here and helping to fight the fires. It's the first time I've seen, and really understood, the speed and devastation of the fires. This is sensitive, real-time, and definitely worth watching. Thank you Firefighters !!!

Thanks Barry,
It took the engine an hour to reach Santa Rosa from Berkeley. I want one!
After watching the video I felt a little like Ginsberg at the end of his poem:
Autumn Leaves
At 66 just learning how to take care of my body
Wake cheerful 8 A.M. & write in a notebook
rising from bed side naked leaving a naked boy asleep by the wall
mix miso mushroom leeks & winter squash breakfast,
Check bloodsugar, clean teeth exactly, brush, toothpick, floss, mouthwash
oil my feet, put on white shirt white pants white sox
sit solitary by the sink
a moment before brushing my hair, happy not yet
to be a corpse.
