Thought I'd share some great photos

Lost Valley Fire, Santa Cruz Mts 2006 [24 hours before the 5 USFS FF got burned to death in Souther Cal] . The shots were taken from our position on the ridge. We had 11 engines in place to try and protect 110 homes while another 10 engine crews 4 hand crews 2 tankers and 2 helicopters hit the fire from below. They held it just short of the manzanita covered slope below the homes. Red Flag day
