Forest Fires

[Hillbillygirl]

Been really dry here, and no real amounts of rain in sight. Currently watching the dense smoke from an uncontrolled forest fire just 30 km north of us. Very high winds here also. We can actually smell the smoke while sitting on the back deck. Another fire burning uncontrolled, 55 km south of us also. Hope they get them under control soon, and if we do get rain, NO LIGHTNING!
Sure, living amongst all the wilderness is nice, but there are some downsides as you can see, also.

Here goes the local Fire Truck. Just flew by our house couple minutes ago. Heard it coming, so ran got camera and fired off a shot. Not the best, but no time to adjust settings.
