Many thanks to the emergency personnel battling this fire, and wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured. But I think that inmate firefighters from prison camps deserve more than $1 per hour.

Karen - Inmate firefighters earn $2.90-$5.12 per day on regular assignments and $1 per hour on emergency assignments, according to their website.

This should be a learning experience for Palo Alto (Santa Clara County). What are the evacuation procedures for Foothills Preserve and the PA Hills and LA Hills?

Palo Alto has no established evacuation zone, according to Zonehaven website. Like mushrooms, we are kept in the dark. No police scanner for early warnings. It's like Paradise, except in Paradise they actually had an evacuation plan. It failed, but they had one. So without a plan, I think we in Palo Alto are blissfully ignorant. Or should be. Or something.

I’d like to hear more about the explosions. Numerous residents heard them just before the fire broke out, but pg&e has yet to acknowledge or explain them.
