Is there no end to this blaze? It sure has been taking its toll. Hope all is still OK wher you live Don.
Yeah, we should be safe, so far the only communities that have had to be evacuated were Punkin Center and Sunflower, both are a good ways away. But it is really getting depressing seeing all these plumes of smoke and smelling the stuff. Most are either in the desert or hills, and the ones in the populated areas are in undeveloped fields, like the one south of us. We were in no immediate danger, it had to jump a major street and the grocery store parking lot, but these fires have been known to do just that from blowing embers.Matthyro said:Is there no end to this blaze?

Russ Bellinis said:Glad to hear you guys are through your fire season, or at least appear to be. I don't think ours has officially started yet. We had a near record wet winter, followed by one of the hottest summers on record, but our worst fire season is usually between Sept. and the first good rain storm, usually about Thanksgiving at the end of November. We had a bad enough fire season last year, that I hope it is an easy one this year, but I still see a lot of dead trees standing in the forrests around here from the bark beattle infestation that it looks scary if fire starts.
