This past week has been bad for lightning caused fires north of the ranch. The West Ash Creek fire in the photo is burning within 15 miles of us. The 3 fires have burned 135,000 acres at this time and are still not under control. The second photo is smoke in our valley--you couldn't see more than 1/2 mile. Currently the wind has changed and we can now see, the fire is not coming towards us at this time. The National Guard with helicopters, the Forest Service with tanker planes and many fire departments are at the scene. Our neighbors that have tanker trucks are hauling water to the fire fighters.
