1. enter forest at night 2. start fire 3. be wrangled by locals 4. be deposited by locals at fire-assault staging area 5. take county taxi to new home sounds like a war zone overhead. copters are pulling water from the lake behind us, planes scooping from a larger one down the road. copter or plane passing over every 30 seconds or so. mandatory evac shortly after midnight. decision made/we good (as long as we aren't discovered) >>> "LIVE!

Sounds scary, hope y'all are safe and prayers sent for all of you. So the community caught the guy? Great ending for an asshat, but unfortunate about the fire. | |||

yep, locals got him. two copters flying overnight on our perimeter, just the buckets not the scoops. the pace they kept for hours today was mind boggling. I don't know how many, it seemed like an army. wish I had flight tracker. it was like a never ending line at a sports event or something. once they got going it was constant roaring overhead, safely spaced of course, one after another. the big scoopers rattled the windows a bit. >>> "LIVE!

It appears as though there was at least one other perp, possibly more than two. When our guy on 'the hill' spotted the man you see in the pic, another man was with him & ran back into deep forest. There had to have been a vehicle parked somewhere for them to get up here. They likely parked on a forestry service trail. Coincidentally, another fire was started down in town after the amount of time it would take to get from here to there.. one man arrested there but PD is being hush-hush about it. The media has STFU re: facts, along with local LE, pending investigation and/or more arrests. I have some cool pics. If anyone's interested in seeing them I'll post some. We're fine, air sux. The air support has decreased a bit on our fire line since they're successfully holding it for now. What they're seriously pounding right now is another 'head' that could possibly turn back on us. On another note, DH has successfully mastered pancakes on the 1st try. I ate too much. Oh well >>> "LIVE! Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death. LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!"

I'm sure a couple of you can ID the planes & copters, I have no idea. >>> "LIVE! Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death. LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!" Auntie Mame >>> I never asked for trust funds. They were thrust upon me. Have pity. <<< | ||||
