The tankers are bombing the hell out of it as I type and it looks as if it is taking effect. Looks to be about a mile and a half away but downhill from my house which is bothersome as fire will move faster up hill than downhill . The good is the wind has slowed some, the bad is it's still blowing towards the house. A helicopter has flown in and I'm thinking they dropped off a crew so hopefully they get a hand on it before it gets dark..... I didn't need this at this time...... Tedd

 

Tedd:
You don't need that at any time. I remember not too long ago you posted pictures of fires in your area. Hopefully they get it under control very soon.

 

That fire was about 1/2 mile from this one and that one I was told was set by a arsonist. Go figure..... Tedd

 

Tedd,
Let's hope your place doesn't change it's name to Burnt Forest Ranch!
Sounds like your area is dry as a bone and water is in great demand.
Good Luck and stay safe.
Steve

 

x2...

 

Hoping this turns out favorably for you and your neighbors! Hang in there.

 

Just in the last 20-30 minutes the smoke has decreased quite a bit, if the wind doesn't pick up we may be OK. This area is tender dry no rain to speak of for months ... Tedd

 

Really sorry to hear the fire is so close, hope you and yours will be OK.

 

Best wishes for you and yours, I hope all turns out ok for you.

 

Here's hoping that fre stays the hell away from your house. Best of luck.

 

Fire is out and everything is good. According to the paper it was quickly contained and only burnt less than a acre.Good thing because it started in a very remote unusually steep area. Yesterday was the first day of deer season could have been someones smoking or hot exhaust in the dry grass. This area is a bomb ready to explode it is so dry.... Tedd

 

Glad things turned out well for you

 

So glad to hear, Tedd!
I will be out that way early October. Guess I will leave my rain gear at home...

 

If you go North west of California (Organ Coast) in October You might throw that rain gear in the trunk you could very well need it. I hear it may be a El Nino this year.... We sure need it....Tedd

 

Organ coast?
Oh, I know what you mean!
Yes I will be at my property south of Gold Beach doing some work and just relaxing. Now just watch me bring the monsoon rains with me...
