I went to 2 fires, within blocks of each other, virtually at the same time, same departments, some of the same command (still wondering how they managed to do that!). Ck out Glenn’s video from NCH here. I still have to edit my iPhone video frm both. Will do soon. Prints available here. Access code to get in available from our facebook firefighter friends.

Pesky fire rekindled in the ridgelines of the roofs. If it werent so darn far away I maybe could have gotten red stuff. I was on scene with the last of the tankers called in. They set up 2 tanks and 2 aerials, and put it out pretty fast!

The Marshal on scene said all of a sudden it was blowin through the roof on the right side.

The nice lady that owns the property offered me a ride in her golf cart to the scene from the other side of the farm, so i definitely took her up on it – was able to take a case of water and a box of towels, which she delivered to the guys for me.  : )

The man in blue is taking the water around to them. Sorry it wasnt cold, but it was wet and clean at least. Check out the video from Monday here.
