This seems to be an annual thread, but we've just had our third major brush fire start up here in Central Washington since the 4th of July. With 20 mph winds and highs in three figures predicted over the next week or so, I fear this is going to be a long hot summer. Just hope it isn't a smoky one like we've put up with the past couple years.

Our mayor's son is on a hot shot crew working this latest fire. I'll see if I can get some pictures.
