Your idea of vacation and mine are obviously two different things, lol. Mine is sitting on the beach, drinking a margarita, reading a book and working on my tan, not exerting all of that energy hiking! I hope you have fun though!

Ditch the lightbar and rooftop speaker, pit the emergency strobes in the fog lights and the headlamps, get rid of the lettering and I would totally rock that!

If the guy you're talking about openly says he gets to sit around and make $80k doing nothing then he sounds like a douche. There are douches everywhere. I don't talk about what I make to anyone. That's just not good manners.

You don't have to talk about it, we know what in your garage!

Bummer. I have fine ash all over the deck. Right now it looks like its dusk about 8.30 pm (3 actual) because of the smoke cloud. The sun is pretty blotted out. Deep orange.

Lightning hits Wednesday afternoon caused several new fires in the vicinity of the already burning Pumice Flat Fire at Crater Lake National Park. Seen here under the storm clouds are a few of the 16 new smoke plumes.

lightning strikes Tuesday and Wednesday caused 16 new fires to flare up.

Multiple other small fires, most under an acre in size, have been reported throughout Klamath and Lake counties due to lightning strikes.

More than 955 lightning strikes were recorded Wednesday over the Klamath National Forest in Northern California. At least 26 lightning fires have been recorded.

Several of those blazes have grown to significant sizes. The White Fire, north of the Eddy Gulch Lookout, is at 100 to 150 acres. The Log Fire is west of Fort Jones and is estimated to be 60 acres.
In the Modoc National Forest, seven lightning fires have been logged since Tuesday. Most of them have been fully contained.

Oregon residents in a community near Ashland were told Thursday evening to leave their homes as a fast-moving fire in southwest Oregon grew substantially Thursday and spread across the border into California.

The lightning-sparked fire was reported at about 100 acres earlier in the day. It grew through the day, fueled by swirling winds and extremely dry conditions, said Brian Ballou, a spokesman with the state Department of Forestry.

The fire had scorched 5,300 acres, or about 8 square miles, in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument by about 9 p.m. Thursday, according to the state Department of Forestry.

Huge plumes of smoke could be seen south of Klamath Falls just after a large thunder and hail storm moved through the area.



>>>
Lightning sparked two new large wildfires in the southwest and central parts of the state. The Beaver Complex, which includes the Oregon Gulch fire, is burning about 20 miles northwest of Medford. The Haystack Complex is burning about 9 miles northwest of Kimberly in central Oregon.

At the regional fire center in Portland, spokeswoman Carol Connolly said Thursday morning that more than 40 small fires were reported in the previous 24 hours. Nearly 500,000 acres — about 780 square miles — are burning in the state.

oh s***, don't talk about beating horses on here.

A tip of the leather fire helmet goes out to the "hotshots" who fight wildland fires. These guys (and gals) have ***** made of solid brass..they go into the woods armed with nothing more than nomex jumpsuits over work clothing, hardhats, goggles, hand tools, chain saws and aluminized fire shelters should the fecal matter hit the rotating oscillating air movement device!!!

Yep. My friend who used to work fire crews said they call the shelters "brown and serve bags".

Wondering if they ever actually use foam up there. We train with foam a lot and it's fantastic.

I know that they'll use class A foam when dealing with suburban/wildland interface to protect structures, but for wildlland ops miles from roads and water sources, it's all hand work and air drops!
