Our area is especially bad, as we have had several years of dry weather. I live in Reno, so the fire has quite a ways to go before it reaches us. I was up there the weekend before the fire started though.

I have a feeling that this is just the start of a very very bad fire season. There is a ton of dry fuel for fires around my area, I shudder to think what will happen if some careless person lights the hills around here on fire. If a fire starts closer to me, I have a feeling I'll be called out for traffic control as it is part of my job to help in emergencies.

Thank you for your prayers, I pray that I am wrong and this is the last of the major fires.
