Indications are the Ranch Fire is moving on to the east, the wind has been blowing from the west and it is forecast to continue blowing from a westerly direction.

On Monday morning, LakeCoNews posted a video that Clearlake Oaks and Glenhaven are unscathed.

On behalf of all the frustrated and evacuated residents of the Northshore, I am demanding that Sheriff Martin, Cal Fire and the Board of Supervisors immediately repopulate the Northshore area and completely open Highway 20.

Yes, we all know there are active fire zones in the area. If citizens want to stay away a little longer, that should be their choice.

For the rest of us, let us go home and get back to work.
