    Default whats on fire?

    If anyone needs any boys clothes we have some as well as some toys. Leaving this for those that are directly affected by the fires.

    Hey Hoser wave as you fly over looks like we are getting into the mix tomorrow down there, we spent this evening at Bergen Rock and killed that fire, there is another around Mt. Sherman but we should knock that one out in short order then its the big show.

    Everyone be safe out there, I enjoy putting out wildfires but it breaks my heart to see people losing there homes, Thoughts and Prayers...

    Just grabbed the family and got them to a hotel. Even though we had thought we were prepared to bug out quickly, it took my wife and I hours to really do it. No fun .

    Ugh, now the smoke is drifting toward us... Not too thick, but I can certainly smell it and feel it in my eyes.

    No, KKTV just announced it.

    We live on east side of Springs and woke to the smell of smoke. Our neighborhood is full of smoke, at least 8 miles from the fire. I just pray the weather will help crews contain and extinguish this fire. Our prayers go out to the families that lost their homes and those evacuated.
