California Wildfire

Check out the latest, now 6500 acre, wildfire occuring in California. Or check out today's MODIS earth satelite picture of the California fire.

Also, check out my latest Smoky Mike blog about the current dry conditions in Arizona and New Mexico that may be a prelude to a repeat of one of the southwest's worst fire year in 2002.

For those who want to know more about me and my forest firefighting experiences (I haven't stopped yet!), you can click here and here from the pages of Deaf Success magazine (now defunct). It was Trudy Suggs who interviewed (a much lighter) me back in 2003 for Deaf Success magazine regarding my wildfire fighting experience. Apparently, I was in the last magazine issue to be printed before it went under. Pity.

Be sure to check out my Smoky Mike blog as the forest wildfire season gets closer and definitely look it up more often during the wildfire season as well. This season is starting to look to be a very busy year for me so I most likely will blog more often in my Smoky Mike blogsite.

For those living out in the west this fire season and your house is among the trees and bushes, be sure to build your defensible spaces from wildfire.

And for those who use ASL can still learn about wildfires by watching these important video clips done in ASL.

If ya'll have questions about forest fires, let me know.
