This was the scene along Spring Creek Trail this morning. The fires west of here in Utah and Colorado are now affecting us. We are seeing ash settling on cars and you can smell it. Sadly I heard this morning at the coffee shop that 3 firefighters have died and 2 have been injured in the 28,000 acre Snyder-Mesa Fire. I am not sure but assume this is the fire where most of the smoke filled air is coming from. In spite of the sad news, may you enjoy your Sunday!

There was a time when there was a fire season. Now it seems to be almost year-round for many areas of the West. Those firefighters have such an unbelievably tough and dangerous job. One lapse of judgment, a lack of information, or even simply bad luck can be fatal. Bless those brave men and women and their families. Like the smoke, the effects of those fires are wide reaching.

I also remember that there used to be a fire season. There are a few job occupations that I would not care to do and being a forest firefighter is one of them. The wind has been blowing the last couple hours and clearing out the air. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
