Grass Fire in December

This may not look like much to you, but this was a enormous fire that was JUST SOUTH of Magrath. It was such a windy day that the fire was traveling up the ridge faster then the firetrucks.

Everyone was worried that if the wind shifted slightly to the north, that the entire town would be in the line of fire.

We stopped to take a quick look, but didn't stick around. We didn't want to get in the way of the water trucks, and the farm tractors that were headed out of town to help fight the fire.

Two Huderitte colonies, and four volunteer fire departments were used to get the fire under control.
