Can't remember who wanted to see some pictures of fire but here some of my favorites.
The first is a column just beginning on a prescribed fire we did a couple of years ago. It turned out beautiful. The second is a column and the shadow of the column on the smoke from the fire. It was a wild fire on the Arizona Strip and is one of my all time favorite pictures of fire. The last is a photo of a NIGHT FIGHT. If you time it right you have a really good chance of success cutting a fire off at a ridge top.

It was me - and thanks, those are some REALLY cool pictures, I love the ones like the last one with the silhouettes against the glow from the flames, so cool! :)
Nice pictures!
The first picture looks like an atom bomb has been set off. The NIGHT FIGHT picture looks like it could be the picture for the cover of a book. Cool pics!
I probably have over 10,000 pictures of fires I have been to in the last 25 years. Since digital cameras came out we have made a CD for every one on the team of everyones pictures - three week fires render a lot of photos - not all of them are good though.
Nene the first picture was taken just as we were starting the ignition....a couple of hours later it looked a lot more like a bomb went off. The top of the column went through the stratosphere and ice capped. That means the water in the column froze and it turned bright white.
