Got a fire blowing it's way around the canyons north of here--north of Palm
springs ca..the road thru is closed and manditory evac occurred. They are
still working on getting out the horses..specially trained private
individuals go in with their own equipment and get the horses out.
THEN there is a fire south and west over the hill...gonna be a busy season
me thinks. ACK

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- OT - Brush fire
Y'all won't believe this. I arrived in Scottsdale this afternoon and
was confronted with a huge brush fire on the mountain ridge right
behind our new home (under construction). It apparently started last
evening - lightning strike. At 3:00 today, the police evacuated all
construction workers, and residents are next if the fire keeps on it's
path. I volunteered to help..........no word yet.
All afternoon we watched helicopters and water planes dump water on
the fire. The smoke changed many times during the afternoon - from
dark grey/black to brownish, to white, and then back to dark gray
black again. The winds were strong, and shifted direction several
times as well. Just before I left around 4:00, the winds shifted to
the east, blowing it towards a little subdivision called Tonto. I
think the fire itself is in the Tonto wildlife area. I'm not sure as
I don't get PHX television stations here. I can't (nor did I try) get
to the fire area. It's hard to tell, but it looks as if it could be
anywhere from 1/4 mile to three miles from the house itself.
I have a few pictures if anyone wants to see - specially the AZ
people. Anyone heard anything about this?
Keep your fingers crossed!
