Firefighting


Wildfires have been raging here for nearly a week.  I can see the smoke and resulting water vapor from my apartment.  Fortunately, it’s not like it was a few years ago where I actually saw red and orange flames that lasted for hours.

These crazy clouds are actually a combination of smoke and water vapor.

This one looks like a bomb was dropped!

I feel badly for all the people and animals affected.  We have evacuation centers in place for people and their pets, but where are those wild animals supposed to go?! Poor chipmunks, coyotes, bears and squirrels.  I hope they don’t suffer much. :-(  Also, we should all be grateful to the men and women out there fighting the fire in this 100+  heat and oppressive smoke.  It takes a special kind of person to chose to do that.
