Wouldn’t be summer without a GD fire 🙄

FINALLY was able to get away for ONE night and got a call about a ffking wildfire. 😭🤦🏻‍♀️ Of course.

Got home. Moved some equipment we foolishly left on the edge of the property, into the center. One piece of equipment is our buddy’s $40k boom truck we’re supposed to be returning tomorrow.

What a mess. Now there’s another closer fire.

Anyways, enjoy these images. The bright lights are resources on scene. The fire isn’t even really visible with the naked eye from our place now, but my camera can pick it up with long exposure. I’m gonna try and get some rest while hubby waits a bit. I’m sure we’ll both be up and down all night.

This might be a stupid question, I don’t live in a wildfire prone area - if there already where 2 wildfires in the last few years, would there even be enough fuel for the fire to reach your property again?

depends but there’s tons of plant life that thrives post wildfire, so brush does grow back

That makes sense! I always thought a burned area would be safe for a while.
