Mines burning? Any details

In case you didn't know, Mines Rd starts over near the freeway at Las Positas Rd and continues south from there with one break before it heads toward Del Valle then turns east up the canyon. The fire could be anywhere along that road. The other fire is definitely within Livermore.

Its about 31 miles from the road beginning in Livermore to the Junction.
Check the CDF or Calfire websites I'm sure they have something on it.
FYI there is a Calfire station out that way too.

LIVERMORE, Calif. - Cal Fire is assisting firefighters from the Alameda County fire dept with two vegetation fires in Livermore.

The first fire, which has been named the Camp Parks Fire, is burning off Mines Rd. in Livermore and is at 2-alarms.

The second fire, which began shortly after the first, is breaking out on Sandia National Labs property near 7900 Tesla Rd. Cal Fire is calling this the Lab Fire and reports the size as 20 acres, as of 11:30 a.m.

The two scenes are within a couple miles of each other.

Lab Fire!
I think most folks have no idea what is going on at Sandia and LLNL. I met Edward Teller once. Kinda scary.

I am fortunate to live with pillows protecting me from reality. Like, down pillows.

Cal Fire folks rock.

Went out to the junction then the observatory this weekend,
Didn't see any fire evidence out that way,
Junction is open, outdoor seating only, bring your mask with you!
