At present, the local news and all social media platforms are awash with stories, photographs, and astonishing videos of the Horse Creek Fire. This includes the sad tale of the pilot of an Air Tractor 802 plane who perished Wednesday afternoon when her aircraft crashed after retrieving water from Hauser Lake.
My
house is some 10 or 12 miles from the fire but is not in any manner threatened
by the blaze. Still, we are early in this fire season, and we are just now
entering a hot, dry spell. As of yesterday afternoon, the Horse Creek Fire had
surpassed 7,000 acres and led to evacuations near Canyon Ferry and York. Sadly,
this fire was human-caused.
It's
scary living around humans during fire season.
