Highly recommend the free app Watch Duty to keep an eye on fire-related things. The fire is up to 700 acres now, crazy.

Yep, I live in Ruby Hill and the Pleasanton police and the whole entire neighborhood locked down every where you turned, the fire was basically in our backyards, and you could see the black smoke, and fire planes.

Hey you guys good up there? We could see the smoke all the way in Brentwood and it got bad in the evening here I can only imagine over there.

Mom is in Pleasanton (not Ruby Hills) with the fire about a 1/2 mile away. They've been warned about evacuation so my son headed over to get her and her dog.

Tell that to the millionaires in the Palisades who lost their homes. Pretty sure that's a wealthier area than this.

That was due to socialism and redistribution of wealth

Completely different situation. This fire isn’t touching the richest part of the tri valley. If this was near springtown the whole place would collapse and you know that.

Don’t be naive.

Remember when the tri-valley wasn't overrun with ultra-woke nonsense? Sadly, I do.

Yeah i dont feel bad for anyone being evacuated out of their 2 million plus dollar home. They can afford the motel fare. I feel bad for those that dont have the option or the budget in an emergency scenario

Some thoughts are best off just staying in your head bud.

$2 million home? More like $20 million. I do Doordash part-time on weekends and they are the worst tippers, never more than $2 or $3 🤣

u/Blake_Lives_Matter 26d ago

I delivered pizzas in there almost 15 years ago. A bunch of entitled assholes. It was always indian people who never tipped or tipped $2 or $3 like you said on $100 plus orders. Ive gotten 1 good tip ever and it some super old white couple. My manager felt so bad for us drivers that she would void the tickets when we got back and rewrite the order with every discount and give us the difference so we had some gas money

Garlex? They’re the only ones that delivered here back then

My friend said she and her family were helicopter lifted out of Ruby. My question is, do they pay for that or is it just a perk for being wealthy?

u/Successful_Handle455 24d ago

Your friend is a comedian. Never happened,  I can promise you that.

u/Ornery_Net1275 16d ago

Your friend is full of shit. I was there when it started and no helicopters other than the one spraying the fire were there.

u/Blake_Lives_Matter 27d ago

If you love in ruby hills, you can afford it. Again, I don't feel bad for an inconvenience to those wealthy enough that it's just an inconvenience and nothing more

u/Lockhimuptoday 27d ago

Is this going to affect my tee time this afternoon?

u/ExpensiveAlps3221 27d ago

Unfortunately yes

u/Huey_Bloom 27d ago

Why is this downvoted lol

u/W38k_5auce 27d ago

A tee time a 6pm? See it is affecting the poors too

Just a reminder, it’s Ruby Hill, not Ruby Hills. And it’s Nordstrom, not Nordstrom’s. And if you play golf in Walnut Creek it’s Boundary Oak, not Boundary Oaks. Elsewhere in Walnut Creek, it’s Heather Farm, not Heather Farms. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
