Always on the Alert

McDoel, CA

Unfortunately, this is wildfire season in the western United States. These are wildfire engines waiting for a call. We have had many lightening caused fires in the last couple of weeks and the brush is dry. My step-son B.J. is out fighting one as we speak.

Nikon Coolpix P80
1/271s f/6.3 at 11.9mm iso64 full exif

Yes, they are terrible, those fires. Hope they will be controlled soon.

Hope BJ gets home safe and sound. Yep, seems to be something that happens there a lot this time of year. Let's pray for not so many this time!

A important one for sure.

Nice shot of these engines on stand-by. I dread the fires. Hope fully we won't have any this year. We had a near miss in 2003. Hope your step-son is safe.
