Between 8-9PM last night I looked out the window and saw a plume of black smoke billowing up from the east less than 2 miles from my home with many, many homes between here and there.
I saw no fire alerts anywhere on-line at the time, and oddly I have seen no reports about the incident since.
Turns out it was ANOTHER vehicle that had caught on fire on Binford Rd! Apparently the resident was “cooking” something…
In the area around Binford, our homes are all adjacent to the Open Space which is extremely dry this time of year and could easily be caught on fire.
I am very concerned that the Binford residents are going to catch the Open Space on fire and burn down our homes!
If you live anywhere near Binford you should be as well, this continues to go on, and nothing is being done about it.
Can you imagine the massive damage that might have occurred if this fire got out of control?
Below are clips offered by neighbors and concerned citizens.
Fire 🔥 Insurance companies will cancel more insurers in Novato like never before. If you can get insurance it will be very expensive. This is a direct result of Eric Lucan’s poor leadership.
Is Eric Lucan waiting for Novato to burn down like Malibu which was “allegedly” started by a RV Fire?
Toni, even though even Novotoans living nearby may never have heard of Binford Road, what is happening on that strip has a far-reaching deleterious, insidious affect on the community on many levels. They should fear the pollution and the fire danger and the impending consequences of insurers. Bottom line is our local govt should be protecting citizens/constituents. This type of local governing is just the sign of the times! California is on it’s crashing fall collision course because of the destructive, incompetent leadership that has other priorities and agendas. Looks like a veritable third-world sh**hole out there. And ruinous to the estuary. They don’t care! It is so obvious. Why these people keep getting elected over and over. Oh, wait. They voted for the VOA (the Voter’s Choice Act — which was voted by the supervisors not the VOTERS as it indicates in its euphemistic title to help keep their supervisorial seats and ambitions).
Is there a way I can edit my typos? LOL
