Dutch Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Judging by the smoke I think the COE did one at Crabtree Cove when we were down there.

Ok thanks ! oneshot Maybe they wanted you to go out and release the valve and help out... We drove to the upper Current River one year on a day like this. Drove down to Parker Access to Trout Fish. Wind blowing all day, had to cut a tree to get out with a handsaw in the truck. Driving back enjoying a beverage, we noticed a glow, the Great Fire of Council Bluff. Took a side road and enjoyed some more beverages while watching the fire jump from pine tree to pine tree. It was a sight to behold, my first up close wild fire. We piddled around long enough and it was getting late. Hwy 32 was opened, but there was still embers and stuff burning away, we hopped out to relieve ourselves and get ourselves smokey.

oneshot 1 Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 I was reading about Mack's Creek seems the professionals still haven't learned. Use to be you go to a fire and Forestry would hand you a Leaf Rake and say go get it. Now days stay back we are professionals. That is what they told me last time and said they wouldn't be able to save my house. I'm like BS me and the wife went set backfire around our house and barn and saved them. Then we go up on the highway they was just standing there. I asked the Chief why they wasn't setting backfire? Oh the highway will stop it. Wind blowing 40-50 MPH. Fire makes a wind of its own. I'm setting there listening to the fire coming seen it come to the highway and keep going. Fire Crew had me take them ahead of the fire. Couple years ago they had one get away. I told the Chief shouldn't of let it get a third of the way. Well them were my men. Well they didn't know what they were doing. oneshot

Terrierman Posted March 19 Posted March 19 56 MPH is the highest I've seen on our wind speed monitor. I went to the store earlier. Wind and truck door nearly amputated my foot! Quillback 1
