On my way home today, I could see smoke over my way. I thought someone was burning weeds. Then as I got closer, I could tell this wasn't a burning weeds fire. I got kinda panicky thinking it looked awful close to my home. Then when I got home I could tell exactly where it was. Across the state highway out where I hike. Crap, I thought, not the trail. Thank heavens it isn't, it's in a small canyon away from the trail. It took me awhile to go over to take pictures, so all I could see was smoke. The arrow points to the helicopter laying down water on the fire.
Going to the Ivins Reservoir for more water. Kinda looks like a overgrown wasp to me.
Just smokey, I couldn't see any flames. I'm thinking it's almost out.

How sad :(
Hope this fire season isn't too bad in your area.
Oh dear, I wish this weren't happening!
Terrible news!
I have never been close to a fire like that...and hope I never am.
Oh that's scary! We had several fires int eh area last year due to drought- our first go round with any that close.
Fire in your nature spot can be very frightening can't it??
