Oh hell, when will I ever learn?...responding to a thread without looking at the dateline. 2012, the guy probably got tired of his old life and ran off with some morally bankrupt little hottie half his age.
Geno, Between the 2 rainstorms we got about 8/10ths of an inch and a badly needed break from the River Complex fire front. We could see it crowning out and hear the roar at my house. They turned a bunch of equipment and the big Chinooks loose from the Dixie fire and saved Callahan. Everything should be fine unless we get a hot dry southwest wind.
I saw a TikTok video of some crews on the Antelope fire last week, making a run for their lives...I have never seen anything like that in my life, terrifying don't cut it. They had to drive through walls of flames 30 to 40 ft high, if one of those pickups in the lead had quit, they would be burying about 12 guys this week. What a summer.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
