I didn't even venture out to walk the dog this evening. I think of those fire fighters, as you say our young people, and wonder how they can possibly work under the conditions in which they are working. It is devastating to think of those lost to these fires. My heart goes out to all. They are in my prayers.

We are getting a little rain today, but this summer's drought, right after the two months of devastating floods has just made this a nightmarish year of bad weather. Praying for all those involved, especially the firefighters who risk their lives to help.

They have chosen to stay put and defend their home, which terrifies me, but they have always planned for fire, so they have a big green area all around their buildings and a good spring and two ponds full of water. My son and grandson are both trained firefighters and are keeping watch. I never thought I would say I hope summer ends soon, but I'm definitely ready for fall and an end to this nightmare!ronandrosi.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017561625133075475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-86053751214504799042015-08-21T10:07:57.955-07:002015-08-21T10:07:57.955-07:00I've heard and watched on TV about the terribl...I've heard and watched on TV about the terrible fires, but have seen nothing like what your pictures show.

Here in Montreal, Canada, it was so dangerously hot and humid for 4 days that Environment Canada issued warnings to people. Today is more comfortable, perhaps tomorrow as well, then Sunday the extreme heat will be back.

I have a friend who is a retired smoke jumper. He often says it is hugely dangerous work even for those who are highly trained. I am so concerned about those that are new to the awful task.

I have been watching with dismay as many of the places I have traveled have burned. We were talking yesterday about the evacuation of entire cities like Twisp and Winthrop. It's terrible what is happening and I just hope they can get these fires under control soon.
