Another Fire

This fire started this afternoon in a nearby city. The smoke was visible for miles, though.

Fire at the Refinery

You could see the smoke from the refinery several miles away this morning.

Burned Hillside

This hill was burned on Thursday, September 3-- about a week before I took the picture. (See my post for Friday, Sept. 4.) The fire was started when a teenager crashed his car at the bottom of the hill. It caught fire and would have caused a lot more damage if the Super Scooper had not been in the area to put it out quickly. A private K-12 school is at the top of the hill along with several homes. Fortunately, none of them were damaged.

Aftermath of Last Week's Fire

Another Fire

There was a small brush fire this afternoon. It had just started as I was driving to our local post office. Fortunately, the super scooper plane dropped something on it very quickly so that it didn't spread up hill to homes or a lovely private school.
