The Fire danger is said to be explosive. People observing on site would need special passes. Because of this hassle, and the need for evacuations if fire did endanger the observatory, we will want to minimize the number of people observing on site until the fire season is over. An evacuation plan for the observatory does exist. Conditions will be bad until the beginning of July, when monsoon season starts.
Biggest danger is from dry lightning.
APO has 20,000 gallon reservoir, foam system. National Forest service will put saving observatory at high priority. We have fire insurance. Gillespie has authority to evacuate the site. Szkody has started to think about this.
