There seems to be new fire, ignited by yesterday's lightning, somewhat south of Bridalveil Campground. Smoke was obscuring Yosemite's scenery. Today, we could barely see the Clark Range from Glacier Point.

It was another long and trying day in the Missoula area wildfire situation. Thanks for everyone who keeps Wildland firefighters and first responders in the hearts and minds.

Really smokey in the PNW right now. The whole area is socked in. Those BC fires are epic. Between the heat and the smoke I could go hang a salmon outside and it would be perfect.
Thanks for everyone who keeps Wildland firefighters and first responders in the hearts and minds.
Double ditto on that.

Firefighter Brent Witham, age 29, was killed in a "tree felling" accident on the Lolo Peak fire outside Missoula on Wednesday August 2. He was a member of the Vista Grande Hotshots based in Idyllwild, CA. This was the second firefighter killed by a falling tree on the Lolo forest in the last two weeks. Today Brent's body was flown from Missoula to his hometown. Folks curious to learn more or watch the funeral procession can check out "Wildfire Today" online. RIP Brent Witham
In other fire news, two large fires are burning in Greenland, the first fires in modern history on this continent of mostly ice and permafrost. Presumably with the warming of the planet, fires of this nature will become more commonplace.

How are our Mammoth Lakes Tacoans doing? Air quality seemed a bit subpar when I was driving past on 395 on Wednesday, thanks to the Butte Fire.

Just noticed the smoke cloud out the window and decided to have a closer look from the observation deck. It's a good one. And it's hot as blazes around here today.
