The California Glamour Girls at their booth for the 2008 Easyriders V-Twin Motorcycle Show in Sacramento, California. Their new 2008 swimsuit calendar was the most popular selling item, followed by individual or group photos for a nominal fee. The bikini clad girls always had customers checking out the eye candy and taking photos. (note: their tip jar was prominently displayed!)

The Electra Fire area affected in shown in this Google Earth image. At the bottom is the PG&E "Electra" hydro-electric powerhouse- close to the source of the fire. At the top is Lake Tabeau- the source of water used to fight the wildland fire. The geography is a river canyon at the bottom with steep and rugged terrain rising to the north and south sides. Grass and dense brush enabled the fire to spread quickly up the slopes. Fire crews staged at the top of the ridge line along Amador Lane. Bulldozers cut fuel breaks along the ridge line and contained the fire to the top of the ridge.

CDF/Cal-Fire helicopters used Lake Tabeau as the primary water source for water drops on the Electra Fire.
