View of this Year's Summer Fire


     Last night as we traveled to visit friends, the sun was in the right position to really highlight part of the area that was burned this year by a forest fire.  This was the second summer in a row that we have experienced a forest fire within an 8 mile (12 km) radius of the McBride townsite.  Having these fires so close is something new, and it is scary.

    I took the photo below as the fire was just taking off.  At the time of the photo, it was only burning the slope on the other side of the ridge and hadn’t spread over the top, to the slope that you see in the photo above.  The photo below was not taken in exactly the same spot as the one above.
