Some amazing photos from a sampling of fires in the 2011 fire season. These are from a friend's son who started out as a hotshot and now supervises crews and strategies on fire sites all over the West.
Amazing...and living where I do, wildfires scare me to death. There have been a few close ones...all too close for comfort. Thanks for posting the link to those photos....really gives one a better appreciation for what wild-land firefighters do!
e.m.b.: Yes, they're my heroes--all firefighters. I've seen some of them working on fires around here, and it's amazing what they do. Keep your weather eye open for smokes.
