that's the way we're lookin' Bob - I just hate the fires! thanks for posting, I was reading about your fires earlier today - sooooo many acres!!

Does not look good, Bob. The fires, that is, not your pic. :-)

Thankfully, the closest fire is 50+/- miles
south. Smoke drifts into the Rogue Valley,
but nothing like this.

Thanks for sharing.

Bob I feel your pain… this is miserable, dangerous, and so uncomfortable.

Just got word from my son, his firefighter crew flew out last friday and is stationed down there bivouacked at a local school. Bussing out to a fire, 16 hour daily shifts.

You definitely need a change in weather.

Bob I have family around the Nampa and Caldwell area, hope the fires get under control soon. We are having them in our state too, Northern Ca. Good postings.

I was in the Boise airport about 2 weeks ago
and saw a bunch of guys and a few young women. They had these Neat packs bright red all line up in a neat rowI got to talking to one of the guys,they were a HotShot crew from Alaska.Fantastic group....

KATY99780 Fire fighters are a brave crew. We need them, defnitely. Wish them luck.

Does my heart good to hear this. Please keep the firefighters in your thoughts.

So this is where all the smoke's coming from. I'm in Livingston, MT
(Downwind). Not quite as smoky, but gusty winds and 5-8% humidity has us in red flag fire alert conditions. Keep cool.
