Fire Fall

It is a warm fall, warm and dry, which is not unusual just adds to the fire season of which I am glad to report the summer fires in Alaska did not impact the interior much at all, that is until now.  This fire is 25 miles south of town at ~ appropriately named ~ Dry Creek and is not being actively suppressed as it does not jeopardize any property.  It is on military and state land on the other side of the river from town.

Today the breeze is keeping the smoke to the southwest of us and I hope it stays that way to keep the smell out of the house and out of our lungs.

This photo was taking outside my work building and the building with the reflective roof is the area high school.
