Unbelievable volume of fire. It looks like those trees were pretreated with gasoline!

That would be what we call a 63,72,71,52 fire.

(Translation from our radio codes: On scene, working fire,I'm going home now, turning my radio off, and pretending this was just a bad dream)

Must have been browser problems yesterday.
Awesome picture, haven't seen fire that size since 1995 (Long Island, NY wildfires) Every department in Suffolk and Nassau counties, plus various NYC companies responded (I believe the total count was 110 agencies).
