Fire

Took a ride down the bike trail behind Mt. Rubidoux to check the aftermath of the Thursday evening fire.  The main burned out sections were not visible from the trail, but I found a couple spots that got pretty close to some homes..  At points, I imagine the flames were as close as 100 feet to homes that are backed against the Santa Ana.  I found fences run over by fire trucks and tire marks everywhere.    Must have been a mad house trying to maneuver 10 ton fire trucks on a two lane bike trail.  Crazy.

Anyway here's some shots.     

-Nice little Saturday.

 Also, saw a helicopter pick up some firefighters and take off from the park.
I wish I had my 7D as I would have shot some video.

 Dead center again,  helicopter dropping in about 600 yds away.
