"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

If I'm hearing correctly, they are now calling this the Bear Gulch Fire.

They are going to get a helicopter to "interact" with the fire (I guess that means drop water)... it's too late in the day to attack it (I guess they mean "boots on the ground"). Minimal wind right now... a steady plume going straight up.
