I was out riding the motorcycle last night and was coming up from Green Valley and the mt. was lit up from the flames. Spooky and kinda cool in a Dante-ish way.

My brother lives on Old Spanish Trail, not too far away. Think I'll give him a call.

Of course if you're actually right in it - then it's REALLY "Dante-ish".  |

Don't mean to lurk guys but just some info, my engine strike team I used to be on in Wyoming was unofficially told that there is a strong possibility that they will be deploying on this fire sometime next week. It looks like since this fire has destroyed so many structures it is the priority fire for the resources. One of the problems that they are having is the altitude, I guess that is why they are requesting resources from the mountain states to assist.

Yeah, it's pretty grim.
I live in Florence, and can clearly see the smoke coming off the mountain. Now there is some fear that it may spread to the lowlands, including the town of Oracle. Edited to add: WW, Mount Lemmon is the mountain that Tucson has grown around, During the winter there are ski slopes and other winter sports. There is also a small community named Summerhaven, but it is pretty much gone due to the fire. |
