I had thought that I was done, but then the Monsoons from NM and Arizona
decide to bend the jet stream our way. This of course brings heat and
moisture. The heavy clouds build up static electricity that just has to
discharge as it passes over some of the most volatale terrain outside of
lower California. We were under "flood watch", but the forecast was for
only 30 percent of the area. Well the floods did not arrive, but the
lightening did.
The area that got the most of it was the area burned over 3 or 4 years ago,
and consisting of Cheat Grass. Of course fires soon generate their own
wind, and it doesn't take too long before things get interesting. I waited
until I was sure that the fire was out and whatever TFR's were in place,
were not in effect. The fire consumed about 1700 acres before it was put
out.
You will notice that at the South end of the fire, further burning was
stopped by the application of Fire retardant. They use "crop dusters"
first, to drop loads of retardant. It takes time and quite possibly the
large tankers are in use at higher priority fires and are not available.
You can see quite plainly that they effectively put out the fire on the
South end of the mountain.

I made a mistake on the size of the fire, Rather than 1700 acres correct
that to 17000 acres.
