Before I get evacuated (not a completely crazy idea with the sheriff right outside my office), I thought I’d post just how quickly fire can spread depending on the circumstances.

I realize those are not on the same scale, but the surrounding trees should help identify the areas. Understand that I was just trying to do some work this afternoon and then headed out periodically to take some pictures. I didn’t set up shop for a sequence.

The distance between the fire and the nearest road is quite big so eventually the firetrucks just had to head up on the hill.

The above photos would convey things much better if I added lots of helicopter noise, but I should get back to work…

And I promise not to clutter the blog with future dish fire photos. I might be inclined to if the fire got any closer, but if that were to happen, I am certain we’d be evacuated immediately anyway.
