Carr fire
Sent by a friend who lives south of the fire. Move the courser to move the photo 360 degrees.

Most of Mike's family live in Redding. So far all family members are safe. But they all know someone who has lost it all. So sad!

We were socked in here with the smoke from the Ferguson in Yosemite and the Donnell fire to the North and West off the CA 108 this morning, the weather pattern (winds?) have it blown out for the evening.

Wildfire is a terrifying thing. My son's close friend and family also lost everything last year. The friend is a wildland fire pilot and actually stayed behind to try and save his house (idiot should've known better; everything in the area was in flames). He was on the roof when some old lady walked out of the smoke wearing nothing but a nightgown. He hurried down, stuffed her in his truck, and took off; said he saw his house go up in flames as he drove away. A minute or two later, he picked up some other stray folks. By this time, stuff in the back of his truck was on fire and passengers were beating out sparks on the seats with their hands. Got to safety, leapt out of the truck, and then stood and watched his pickup burn.
I have seen my share of wildland fires but cannot begin to comprehend the scope of these California fires.

Yeah, Redhawk has a bunch of amazing stories after a quarter century of fire fighting but he topped himself with this one.
