Texas Forest Fires

Onrey

I call home Alabama but I am on a Fire detail for 16 days in Texas, I am inital attack with 2 Alabama Forestry Commission Bull doziers, havent had alot of time to take photos but did get a few today. Please over look typos ect, I havent had much sleep. Currently near Branbury Tx and will be moving 100+ miles tommororow to Decatur Tx.

Photos story:
Our fire (7000 acres) escaped our lines today and air attack helicopters were called in, myself and 1 of our Doziers waited to put fireline around the jump as helicopters droped water on hot spots. Not sure when I can check this thread again or add new photos. These were taken very quickly. BTW I was about 100 yrds away from this, taken with 20D and Canon 70-200 f/2.8L. no time for EXIF. Straight from camera and cropped only JPEG

Yep, you don't have external linking turned on for that gallery, most likely.

Check out our "How to Post a Pic" tutorial.

Sorry Guys, I knew better, but was very tired lastnight and it slipped past me.

Heres a few more, this is the head fire that was about 1/4 to 1/2 mile away, 20 D 70-200 f/2.8L


Here is the fire line that (looking east) we put in on the northside of the Huckabee fire

This fire was on a ranch converted to hunting ranch, you can see the wildlife fence to the left. We saw and jumped many very big trophy whitetail deer, But no pics

I had to look twice at the first chopper shot, looks like its balanced on a geyser.:):

Thanks for sharing and take it easy
