Flames NE of Ensenada

bajadock - 10-7-2008 at 08:44 PM

Flames on hill approx 3 miles east of downtown Ensenada.
Saw the smoke from this one beginning this morning, visible from my home on the south side of the bay.

Here's hoping this one runs out of fuel as it has been very
calm past few days. Reminds me of '07 fire challenges throughout Cal Alta and Baja.

Maybe Tropical Storm Norbert will help.

Yea, had me worried for awhile there. Especially when the helicopter started making his water drops and was scooping up the water from the lake just across the road!!

If you look real close near the bottom of the picture you might be able to see the water bag they're carrying....

With your vantage point, you need an osborne Fire Finder:
