Slide Fire: Day 4

On the Fire Line off Highway 18, North of Snow Valley outside Arrowbear on Day 4 of the Slide Fire in California, CDF Alder Crew 4 works hot spots and maintains a line to prevent fire from moving south. Unfortunately not alot to see and shoot, mostly everything was smoldering.

This was shot between 5 and 7pm October 25, I searched for active fire along 18 near Running Springs and this is all I found, after hiking in about 1 mile.

In the video please notice the nice orange fall colors. No its not fall foilage in the forest, it is alot of orange fire retardant.
