[HamWAN PSDR] 2620 fire - potential impact to HamWAN operations

[David C. Jenner]

I'm in Brinnon, just below Buck Mtn. and get a feed from there.  The air quality here at sea level goes from mediocre to bad, depending on the wind direction.

Of course it's possible, but not likely, that it spreads to Buck Mtn. But the worst case is it goes East and gets into the Bonneville power lines.  There it could take out power to the whole eastern and northern Olympic Peninsula.

We have lots of friends along Duckabush Rd. who are susceptable to evacuation.

73,
