That video brought chills down my spine. I was out at Job Corps when these fires where happening. I was on the Fire team that fought the fires too. Just to see C-Hill like that all in flames brought back a lot of memories. I am just glad that we were able to help out the people that we did....

That Was just one of The fires. There Where Tree fires in a 30 mile area. My mother works up at the college. She had to go up there to set out sprinklers to help stop the fire from taking out the college. I do not remember at all of the national gards coming in to help. Though I do remember that different aggences all over the country and a group from Alstrala came in. It was the effert on all parts that did it. I my self know this was the worst fire yet to date. I couldn't go to work, ST park.
