Here's a couple of a fire by my house. I took the first one thru my spotting scope and the second one as the bomber flew overhead

Are you sure those aren't the controlled burn fires west of Ely this september? Sure look familiar to me.

Wes, I had to duck when I saw that Borate bomber! LOL! Back when I was a forest fire fighter, it seemed I always drew night duty. One evening they woke us up and said it was too late in the day for the bombers so it was safe to attack the leading edge. So we charge up the hill. I was busy shoveling dirt on a stump that was sending up a shower of sparks when out of nowhere I hear the rumble of a plane. Too late! Before I could react he dumped his entire load right on me. All I could do was hit the dirt. I was covered with about 1/4" of pink slime!

So now, everytime I see one of those it makes me laugh!

Cool pictures, must have been real scary for you. Be careful not to go into potencial fire areas. To aid you I've posted a map of areas where you might encounter another wildfire.

how about an early Skyland fire shot, and a late, post skyland fire shot? This fire turned out to be on the front page of the paper yesterday as the most popular story for MT in 2007. I was on this fire for a while . . .

I have some better ones from when I was a firefighter, but they aren't digital. Here are a couple from a fire on one of the best mule deer units in Utah. If you recognize this location you will know if I am being serious or not.

I'm thinking NOT, but then I can't pinpoint the location...???
There are only a couple "best mule deer units in the state", and that definately isn't the Henry's???

Could be the other one...just can't get my brain to compute that first photo!!!

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Follow your first instinct.
