View from east of the fire on Hwy 97<br /> 9. Next day mop-up. Still some hot spots to kill. I could hear chainsaws working in the trees. News reports today say it's out and the fire has taken 25 hectares but no loss of life or real property. <br /> <br /> &quot;It jumps and sways from side to side,<br /> Using each tree for its scorching ride.<br /> It sputters left and sputters right--<br /> Killing life with greedy delight.<br /> It plays with leaves and very tall pines,<br /> Breaking in places, then it combines...&quot;<br /> <br /> ~ George E.
