Pic just appeared on my twitter feed….rather impressive! Apparently a controlled burn that has got out of control

Wow!

Not very ‘controlled’ looking!. It’s a sign of how dry it is in the west at the moment. My local trails are drier than they were at any point last year, this easterly wind seems to have caused it.

Holy crap—looks like here in New Mexico the past couple of summers (and probably the one to come)!!

Better put some Caol on that fire!

Well if it was photoshopped, they could have straightened it at the same time 🙂

Nope, not photoshopped fire covered about 3 mile apparently. I live in Fort Bill and it was some big fire.

Bloody hell, there’s always one idiot! 🙄
On the news now, and three more fires reported. One fire could be a burn to out of hand, but several? What are the chances this is arson? There always seems to be copycat fires in other countries, and this doesn’t seem like it could be accidental, there’s been no lightning or storms up there, and it’s certainly not hot!

Jeez, i thought you were up to your thrupenny’s in snow.

My dad lives up there, these are some of the pictures he took last week. Been fires burning a while now.

The view from his garden a week ago.
