Hell has a third anniversary

[Rob Wright]

My father was a wildland firefighter for over 37 years, he retired as a Hot Shot Superintendent after the monster fire in Arizona. I've seen his pictures from all over the US and Canada and even video after he retired, people truly have no clue just how powerful wildfires are.

The US Forest Service is the only federal agency that can be onsite in 36 hours and have camps set up and running with no hickups, you should see them set up fire camp truly amazing, FEMA could learn a lot from them.

My in-laws live in Hemet and they say they are now waiting to hear if the city needs to start evacuating.

I hope it turns out well. The smell of smoke down here in Sa Diego is strong this afternoon, but in my bones it feels like the Santa Ana may slack off tomorrow sometime, hopefully before much more damage is done.

Awful!
We had quite the wild fires here in New Mexico a few years back. A mess indeed.

These sorts of things are bad, I just hope that no one else gets hurt, and everyone is safe.

A sad turn of events that someone can decide to start a fire knowing the ultimate outcome. I feel for the families of the firefighters who have lost there lives, & also people affected by this fire
