Stunning Photo 10-9


I want to share one of the most stunning fire pictures I've seen in awhile. This was taken this past week at the Old Fort Ord near Monterey by someone in another airship. Larry was down there this week for the yearly prescribed burn they do down there. They start the fire and work at getting it hot fast so the smoke creates a strong column that goes up instead of smoldering and spreading out. This is just a beautiful picture.
That is a Hughes 500 for anyone that cares and hanging beneath the chopper from a ladder is the heli-torch that drops a special firey mixture to start the fire.
