FIRE!

I just walked up on the hill behind my mom's house and saw this happening. This picture was taken down in Watsonville, close to the major wildfire in the Santa Cruz mountains. The CDF diverted this tanker to Ben Lomond to contain a small fire that started when a power line was knocked down by high winds. The fire was close enough (a little over a mile as the crow flies) that I could see flames. Frightening. Here is a news article about the larger fire in the area, and here is a slide show from the fire.




I gotta give a big thank you to all the firefighters out there risking their lives to keep people and homes safe. Get er done dudes.
