Community near Crooks Fire impacted by impending start of peak wildfire season
Jesse Csincsak has a second home close to the Crooks Fire and says he found out about the fire first on social media, and then immediately turned on his Ring Doorbell camera. "In your head you're thinking, do I rush up there? Do I get these valuable things that I have up there? Then you start scratching your head about the insurance side of it," Csincsak said. "I did just have somebody Ring our doorbell up there just a minute ago … it didn’t look smokey yet, which is really good news. But I was just watching the news and we have a ton of wind coming in this week due to this high-pressure system that’s over us. Wind is terrible for fires, right.
"This is our 9th summer and I think there's only been one or two summers where we haven't had a fire nearby. Its like Russian Roulette every year and this one I’ve been really calm all afternoon but a few hours ago about an hour ago, I saw that the fire had grown to 500 acres and I had a meltdown. This one seems very, very real," Daniel said.
