After some discussion, the chart below was the air bosses proposed new TFR (in pink). Chris thanked him and all the fire fighters for the amazing work they did dealing with the rapidly spreading fire. We are grateful for his cooperation, for the adjustment to the TFR, even though the mountains are still smoldering, and for being able to re-open as of this Friday 10/2.YOU CAN HELP US in our fundraising efforts, by using the charity arm of Amazon for purchases you already make.
