Fire

[Metals406]

We had the world's longest and tallest beaver dam at one time here in Kila.

White settlers came in a TNT'd the chit out of it.

Old timers said it burned summer and winter for ten years, as it snaked through the heart of the dam.

If I recall, it was 40' wide 60' deep, and was as wide as the valley out here.

This image is probably from 7,000 feet up or so, & you can still see remnants of the dam still today. We'll over 100 years later.

Thank you for the reminder; I need to check in on one of my old seasonals who I haven't heard from in a year or so.

Fires being intentionally set along I 5 north of Seattle. At least 7 reported. Freeway is being closed at times to fight them. They have a description of the car and occupants. They believe they are using road flares to start the fires. If caught they should be publicly flogged!

I hope that they're caught, and prosecuted fully. This is unacceptable behavior.

They have a description etc of said asshats...

My day job is right next to the Freeway in this area... unfortunately it didn't burn down... I could use some time off and a new tool box.

Just got back from 2 eastern Washington fires. 6 hours worth of paperwork, and all my bills are ready to send in. My first fire riding around in a pickup, and I have to say, I would rather be on the crew.
