Wow! Stray safe Susan.

Nice series Susan, stay away from the smoke and fires! AC congrats!

The stunning view! Congratulations Susan!!

Too bad about the smoke, but what beautiful countryside!

Nice pics with good definition ... thanks for sharing Susan. I sure hope that they can get the fires out before they destroy some of your beautiful landscape, hurt someone or their animals. Kirby

Super shot & series - AC Congrats, Susan!

Nice job of reporting, Susan.

We are getting some smoke drifting in from
the Happy Camp fires. We at least 50 miles
from the Oregon/California border. No threat,
just the smoke as you say.

Congratulations on your AC series and the VIP.

Made for a rough hike yesterday too. I could feel it in my lungs by the time I got home. Hate smoke!

Such a peaceful scene with this terrible ominous smoke cloud billowing behind the mountain !
These fires are horrible - stay safe and stay indoors so as not to impair your health !
CONGRATULATIONS on your AC, Susan !!!

I see where this fire increased by 6,000 acres in 24 hours-Hope they get a handle on it quickly!

Hope the fires stay clear of you, and they get put out soon! Congrats on your ac and vip!

Stay safe, Susan! Glad it's on the other side of the mountain...Congrats on the AC!

beautiful but scary

Nice capture Susan! and congratulations on the AC.I know the feeling as we have 7 fires going at last
count with more Dry lighting on the way....

Beautiful,Congrats

Susan, I completely understand the eerie part - we are going through the same thing down here in the Mojave Desert. There are now 8 fires near Ridgecrest. Stay safe!! Great series - Congratulations on your AC!

Oh Susan I hope these fires get contained soon!Beautiful country!

I hope all gets under control soon... so scary! Stay safe!!!

Here an article about it

I think it varies from region to region - and they waiver on it - right or wrong. Sure don't think it is the thing to do in heavy timber.

Here is the latest - nothing about letting it burn that I saw.

Great pictures Susan...sorry about the fire it is that time unfortunately.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT SUSAN!!! Do you think you might have to evacuate? It sure would NOT be good to be stuck ,surrounded by that smoke,and if it gets closer,there's the heat as well...Gosh I sure hope you folks will be okay,,,very,very scary!! I know there have been fires in Nebraska,and to the south there have been fire danger warnings/watches...our little spot got a reprieve with some much needed rain recently,hoping for more,,and I hope others like your area and elsewhere gets the much needed rain somehow as well! Thanks for sharing your story and please be careful!!!! God Bless!-Mindi :)
