Lauren Robertson with the Pine Mountain FSC shared the following about local the wildfire camera network. "The Alert Wildfire folks at the Univ of Nevada at Reno have installed a fire camera on Laughlin Peak. Today, the administrator has pointed the camera at Willits so we can see the view. When it's pointed south, there is a beautiful view of Ukiah Valley.... The camera rotates and will be pointed immediately towards any new fires. It's real time and a wonderful addition to our community. They've also added cameras at Black Oak and in Eden Valley. These new cameras join the already-existing camera in Redwood Valley. You can see these cameras by going to alertwildfire.org and selecting Northcoast." www.alertwildfire.org [2] All the best,
