Got a front row view of the Roseville fire out of our office building window.

Two tanker planes have made dumps and two helicopter are continuing to make dumps and refill at a nearby pond.

It's not close to our building.

Here's a couple of images. The first one you can see the plane approaching and the second one you can see it dumping (orange glow).

The plane went right over our office building when making the approach.

I was wondering why I smelled smoke here in Loomis. Where exactly is the fire?

I used to wheel a lot. . .

West of Sunset and 65.

We are directly south. The pictures are a north view.

Hopefully it won't jump into Stanford Ranch 😯 But then maybe I won't have to go to work in the morning 😕

I think there was another smaller fire out there by 65 and Stanford ranch at around 11:00 this morning too. I was driving down 65 coming back from the dump and there was a ladder truck out there on the West side of 65 spraying into a field. Looked like a small fire, but sounds like a busy day for the firemen out there today!
