WILD FIRE

CalG -
I know the Entiat area well. It, like many other areas in NE WA is a really hot, dry place in the summer. As a note - I know for a fact that the foresters and firefighters in that part of the world are some of the best trained in the world. My family's home town is Omak. Your son works with an elite group of highly trained professionals.

Glad to hear you alright. I grew up on the East side of the state and did a number of wild fires back in the day. The wind can be a really scarey situation. The heat of the weather and fire can be a real problem when fighting fire. The smoke is hard on you too. Still have relatives in the effected areas. They are alright but fire came pretty close.

Here is a photo of a fire we had down the road a couple of years back! . Always leave early no matter how hard it is to leave your home behind!
