Yikes, fires are burning all around Doug and I. After several days of fire crews battling many different fires it seems most of them are under control. The fire that was burning closest to the lake cabin was up on the ridge to the north of the cabin. I met quite a few fire crew guys that were working on cleaning up around the other cabin on the lake. They were also setting up a water pump plumbed from the lake up to that cabin. They were a little more concerned about the other cabin off the lake because it is a little further up the hill side making it closer to the fire. They did ask if I wanted any work done around the property but we determined it looked pretty good and if the fire made it this far down the hill it wouldn't have a lot to burn.
As it turns out some cabins up river have not been so lucky. A cabin in between Ralf and Bill's cabin's burned to the ground. One of Ralf's cabins had some fire damage but nothing major. The fire crews were able to get it out before any of Ralf's burned down. The pics above are of the fire growing over the ridge coming from Ralf and Bill's headed toward Doug's cabin on the hill side. Since I took the photos they seemed to have that fire under control. Right now I think the only one they are fighting out here right now is many miles up stream somewhere past Ralf's place.
