Fire on Baldy 8/28/07

Stunning images, Mark. It must be a terrifying time for the people of this area. I remember when we had similar bush fires near my home in Australia. My father was trapped at the university where he worked. They were completely surrounded by fire and unable to get out. He was busy saving the animals that were running into the university from the surrounding bushland. There was no phone contact as lines had been cut. The relief when he finally came home was enormous. I really feel for everyone close to your fires.
