Tough country to fight fires. We had the kids out watching the helicopters working to slow the spread. I’ll get a couple pics up this morning.

This is in 166, tucannon for anyone not familiar with the area down there.

Looks pretty small, let's hope it stays that way . Things can change on a dime in that tinder box called the blues though, scary.
