Holloway Fire


putting out fire



wall of flame



sam and benjamin



jaime



our engine



running to the fireline



big squirt-gun



on to the next spot











fire popping up behind them



putting out hot spots



checking for hot spots



just us



what lies ahead



these flames were pretty dang hot







hoping for some good dirt



fighting



miles of fire











surveying the situation



keep on keeping on







it amazes me how much fire you can put out with a shovel and back pack sprayer







jaime on the nozzle











heading into the hell fire











the cavalry



wouldn't it be nice to have one of these?

Long Draw Fire


 three man well



 we got these cows to safety the night before
 we had to take them back into the black as the fire came upon them again






getting them a drink







 the only thing that didn't burn was the weeds in the middle of the road











 heart break















 the fire was so intense it expelled their unborn calves



 fire on our side heading up to crooked creek



 survivors on the left
many had to be put out of their misery
