Big fire Thursday on Big Kazemba. The kids came in saying they could hear the fire and see the smoke. Looking out-yup, Big K was on fire. I drove down to get Paul and Big Joe to help-Big Joe was on lunch, so Lori came instead. Brian had really been hoping to avoid a fire up there, but alas, not this year. It took the whole mountain on our side, then went up Little Kazemba and snaked around. It started coming back around again, but went out before it got too close to our place again. We have a great fire break around the house that John made last year, so we weren’t too worried about that, but there were some trees Brian really wanted to save (I think they all made it!).
So this is a picture of the KVFD-Kazemba Volunteer Fire Department. I am still not sure how well the beating it with a branch thing works. You beat it in one spot, but are fanning the flames next to it!
