Grass Fire Right Here

I tried to tell the peeps that there was smoke in the air but Mum was reading and Dad was, well, just being Dad. For some reason they turned on the magic box news and saw that there was a grass fire about 3/4 a mile from us. I quickly got them into the mean green Prius machine and had them drive me to the fire. Here are some photos of the grass fire mop up...


Burnt field with Mt. Diablo in the background.


I thought I could help but was too late...







Here are some photos of the fire peeps working hard...





And here is some video of me surveying the fire scene...

Unfortunately there were fatalities...


Poor guy. Wonder how many more didn't make it.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The hot dry season is here. Let's make it safe.
