I ended getting to see my fair share of fire this year. I was out on 2 fires, Gash Creek and the Derby fire, for a total of 32 days. Both were impressive, but the Derby was crazy. I saw fire behavior that I had never seen in my 6 seasons with the Forest Circus. Derby ended up going 208,000 acres.
I saw SherpaS over on the Gash creek. Was good to finally meet up with a mag on a fire
I'll let the pictures do the talking.
Ranchers driving out their cattle. The stuff right off the road behind the cows later burned.
