Area 7 Fire Pics

Sorry they suck. Got out of a conference early and just had to go to the heart of the fire and only had cell phone. Most areas still burning, we need rain.

Hope that area quickly recovers.

I think it will take a long time to recover.

[Wyobowhunt]

no its not off Esterbrook road. The picture was taken on Trail 643 off of fletcher park road.

If the trees still have limbs with tuffs of needles on them it didn't burn too hot.

This area didnt burn as ht as others. When it melts fence posts you know it burned hot. I will post more pics this next week when I go back up.

Looks familiar. I just got back from a fire north of Fort Laramie and was on one by Hartville last night. But we got .49" of rain tonite and the NWS said the Arapaho fire area got 1" plus. It will cause lots of erosion, but will still do more good than harm.

Just FYI. I've been fighting fires for 38 years and this one burnt as hot or hotter than any one I have ever seen. Melted a metal ladder into puddles. Took a BBQ grill and turned it into a puddle and those trees with needles were not hardly in the fire. They are just baked from being so close to the intense heat.

It looks tough.

ICMDEER, It makes me so sick to see what happened to twin pine. I love to stop on the road and just listening to all the bulls bugle and now I don't think I will be able to do this anytime soon.
