Wow! It’s starts already. Gear up, it’s going to be another dry one. Clear the fuel around structures and along roadways, as well.
I’m sure they could have let it burn. Overnight moisture and the impending cold front would have taken care of it….
Naw, it’s getting late in the year for controlled burns like that, it’s pretty darned dry out there despite the little bit of late rain we’re getting. They did good putting it out.
Real good, IMAO.
You can’t see it in the photo but there are about a dozen homes just below the fire.
I’ll bet those folks were worried!
Thanks to all our firefighters. Be safe!
Looks like that area has been recently logged.
