Wildfires are nothing nice. They crown over you ,suck up all the oxygen then burn all below in a giant flash over.No way out and no place to go.
We lost a bunch of very brave fire fighters. Sad.

Building fires are bad enough for firemen to have to endure, but wild fires are a beast that truly bites back. Even with their "survival" equipment they are at the mercy of the fire.

I can't say from personal experience, but those that have had the experience can only explain it as having the air sucked out of your lungs as the fire rushes over you.

They are truly a breed abover the rest, and God bless them all!

I am a legend in my own mind!
