Indians Fire

This is definitely one of those "documentation" posts. These are cruddy for the most part.

The so-called Indians Fire started around noon on 8 June. When I came into work on 9 June, the smoke was nasty, but it cleared by the afternoon and was clear until around 1500h on 10 June (Tues) when the words were uttered "Something really bad just happened."

Tuesday, 10 June ~1500h
This plume of smoke was not there 15 minutes
before the photo was taken

Wednesday, 11 June ~0800h
Still going strong. Smoke was able to reach high enough
altitude that it was undetectable by the nose

Wednesday, 11 June ~1300h
Plume of smoke still trailing across the sky... looks pretty nifty here.
(Burned area in these photos is from a control burn weeks before)

Wednesday, 11 June ~1600h
Fire getting closer to where I spend my days. Smoke
finally can be smelled. Flames can be seen (2nd photo)

At this point, I realized that my lens was majorly fucked up and quit taking pictures.
