As the crow flies, one front of the fire is just about 3 miles from us, but there are 2 or 3 ridges (and canyons) it would have to burn past to get here.  We would see it from our west-facing deck hours in advance--but we don't see even the tips of anything yet.

 

Similar thing for a friend of mine during the Oakland Hills fire.  They were watching it, and then suddenly they only had time to grab the dog and flee with the clothes on their backs.  Fed Ex can wait.
