Yesterday Springwood, Winmalee and Yellow Rock were ravaged by fire. In photo 1, another house bursts into flames as the fire bombing helicopter fights desperately to save others. How those guys must feel looking down on people they can't airlift to safety :-(

Today James and I surveyed some of the damage around town ... very sobering. The McDermott guys were doing a fabulous job as usual, drawing from the dam on the Springwood golf course to fight local wildfire.
