Fire

[webfoot]

I knew there is some smoke around. I figured it was from the fires by Greenhorn or Anthony Lake. Turns out there is that started by the Powder river near Richland. It is now at 8,500 acres, 0% contained, and growing. It is headed up the back side of Little Lookout Mt So I looked around. The tank truck, both pump trucks, and the 2 fire cats Are all gone so is all the younger able body type men. Oh boy we knew this was going to be a bad fire season.

And that 8500 acres hasn't been updated since last night. We heard it was it 3 guys who started a campfire, when they saw the landowner they took off. He tried to catch them and couldn't and the fire was already out of control. (Do have to wonder why he didn't put it out first)

I just saw 14,000 acres. Nicky do you know Jake and Reata Brown? They sit in front of us in church. I bet they wont be in church tomorrow. Will was here earlier. He went over there yesterday afternoon with some of our crew. He noted that if it goes high enough things are green. Howeverif it heds toward Huntington there is nothing to stop it. He said he heard that the feds have called it a class one. Which means they are bringing in the know it all big boys from out of state. They will manage to stop it when it gets to the Snake River.
Why give chase instead of jumping on the fire? Who knows what the first impulse is? Did it look like a controlled camp fire?

No, I don't know them.
That's what I wondered, sure you would want to catch them but not at that price!
