It's getting worse since my last post just a day ago. Get one wild fire somewhat contained & a couple/three more wild fires flare up. Man power is stretched past the breaking point like some of these wild fires have a couple hundred men on them or more & other wild fires may be lucky to have a dozen men on them, if anyone @ all. The inverted little red 'V's sprinkled across the fire map denote 5 acre or smaller fires but these small fires just drain the troops from combating the larger inferno fires. All the troops available are on the line meaning we have zero reinforcements to combat new fires &/or the dreaded flare ups. H2O coming down from above high is worth more than .999 gold bullion to us up here @ this point. Homes/out buildings burned up plus lost crops not to mention livestock/wildlife, some maybe even burned alive like where does one run to when surrounded by a hellish inferno? The links below tell the story of the current fire situation up here.
