Smoke!

Fire!
What the hell?

Today I had only planned a short trip to the LBS to drop off a flyer when yes,  I was diverted.

Again!

This time, only a couple three miles extra.

I was being niele(knee-eh-lay = nosey) don't you know.

So off I went!

Apparently the fire had been going for a bit as it looked like it started in the back of hill.

The wind was blowing pretty good, which didn't help any:

There were already some firefighters walking the burn line below the ridge.

I got to see the helicopter folks dumping water on some hot spots:

They were just making sure the fire didn't go down the hill towards the houses.

Not much they could do about the top part so they just let it burn:

It was pretty much flaming out when I left.

Checking the news when I got home, seems there were two other brush fires today.

I guess it's summer.
