Sound issues continue to plague the community meetings with some speakers too soft/loud. I corrected that by-hand, and took notes.
I also deleted the beginning 9 minutes of silence.

(Smoke too toxic to expose workers with getting out of vehicle too much.)
-Mail - started today - Sheriff escorted mail trucks
-Federal Aid - not available as, somehow, Dixie Fire doesn't meet federal requirements(!)
-California Assistance Act - aid has been requested
15:45 - Info on evacuees returning to homes (no timeline, wait for it to be safe, they pow-wow every day about it, but no estimate yet)
17:00 - "LIMA" Law Enforcement Mutual Aid - Sheriff instructed them to make contact with people staying in red zones. Informing people they cannot leave their homes unless for critical groceries/medical needs.

27:50 - Q&A Time for the Meeting
28:00 - Chief Mike Wink Again (very important)
-Clarifies that firing the landscape does not cause devestation.
-Low-intensity fires are what they cause in the calm and cool of the night. It burns off the ground fuels - bushes, pine needles, sticks, logs, saplings. Fire won't climb trees or harm structures - they supervise it.
-"Will there be a firing operation tonight?" Yes. (He shows where.)
29:45 - "Are cabins in Ohio Valley in Danger?" No, just mopping up there.
No reported losses.
30:30 - "Chester threatened? Why still under evacuation warning?"
Sustained winds first pushed the fire in that direction. Should they come again, Chester is in danger again. Until they work on finishing the firing to burn away ground fuels in area; threat remains if winds pick up again.
-When they finish, Chester will be much safer.
32:00 - "Jonesville cabins ok?" Yes. Ok so far.
