Seeing the flames in addition to the smoke really makes this one more dramatic! Good job! Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: January 2, 2010 Comments: 1933

An interesting and not necessarily invalid take on the fire, horacenick. However, this took place in juniper country, not a logging area. The fact is we haven't had a lot of wet weather recently and forest fires do happen. It's actually good for the environment, even if we humans don't appreciate losing our homes/businesses. I can't find that this particular fire has damaged anything manmade as yet, though news coverage is light, at best. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: October 15, 2004 Comments: 26

great series of shots superj, agree W/your reply to horacenick. that fuel type does have frequent return intervals. In absence of natural fire that historically burnt many acrers W/O suppression, logging & and other fuel RX's should be aimed at mimicking what fire did histroically.
