Yeah, nobody is up there except 62 fire crew. But there is private land up there and folks like to trespass to hunt on it. I was sure shocked to see a map of my land on the front page this AM.

More than anything else, I appreciate the effort put into keeping fire information as current as possible. Even if the fire is not in my backyard, it is a threat to people I know.

Eh? That ‘ranch’ is over by Platina. Miles away.
