You be careful out there.  I just read where two firefighters lost their lives when their vehicle rolled off a hill.  Very sad.  The magnitude of your photos just can't be comprehended.  Something you have to see first hand to understand the destructive forces being unleashed!
Stay safe!

Like Dave said, unless you see one of these fires it is hard to understand the scope of them.  There were a few smaller fires when we were west years ago and even the small ones were putting off huge flames and smoke (and that was a view from many miles away.

Stay safe.

Wow!   Be careful out there.  I can see where a man could get trapped very easily by those flames.   :shock2:

   No up and moving by 0500, I think he sleeps in.  We cut handline most of the afternoon, where it was to steep for the dozers to go. One of my crew members saw a mountain lion today, thought it was a deer then put up the binos, and said it had about 2 1/2 foot tail.
