It seems to me that Silverado is always on fire. Every year.
We are under a wind warning again for the next 2 days.
So windy there was ash in the butter on the Thanksgiving table outdoors this year.

SOLANO COUNTY, Calif. (KTXL) — Officials in California announced Wednesday afternoon that last year’s deadly Markley Fire was allegedly started as an attempt to cover up a suspected murder.
The Markley Fire was a smaller fire that merged with others into the LNU Lightning Complex that burned parts of California’s Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Solano and Yolo Counties.
The Solano County sheriff and district attorney reported the two deaths linked to the August 2020 Markley Fire are being investigated as homicides. Douglas Mai, 82, and Leon “James” Bone, 64, were found in their homes in unincorporated Solano County.
Solano County officials named Victor Serriteno as the suspect in the investigation.
Serriteno was already in custody on suspicion of killing Priscilla Castro and burning her body. The 32-year-old woman from Vallejo was reported missing after authorities in Vacaville say she went on a date with Serriteno just two days before the Markley Fire was sparked.
Her burned body was found Sept. 2 near Lake Berryessa.
The sheriff’s office said it’s now believed Serriteno deliberately started the Markley Fire “in an attempt to conceal his crime.”
The Markley Fire was started by Victor Serriteno, 33, and ended up killing two men. Serriteno pleaded no contest and was found guilty of three counts of murder and several counts of arson, prosecutors said. CBS reported that he will be sentenced to a total term of 73 years to life in a state prison.
A Bay Area man, Victor Serriteno, was convicted of killing a woman he met on a dating app and then starting a fire to dispose of her body which started a wildfire in California that burned a quarter million acres in 2020.
“After killing Priscilla Castro, defendant Serriteno drove her up to the Putah Creek Wildlife Area off Highway 128 where he dumped her body,” District Attorney Krishna Abrams said in a news release, according to Law&Crime. “Additional circumstantial evidence placed Serriteno in the area of Priscilla’s body at the time the Markley Fire was started.” Abrams added that Serriteno caused “one of the most catastrophic fires in the history of Solano County.”
