My son was the last US Forest Service Fire Fighter to escape through the wall of flash flames that blew up through the valley by running beside his crew truck through fire that was all around them. The flames went hundreds of feet into the air at unbelievable speed through the dry and hot forest. My son said it sounded like he was next to a jumbo jet plane engine. He was a bit scorched but not badly injured, thank God. Other crews and 2 rescued campers trapped inside the flames had to take shelter under individual Forest Service fire tents, with one brave fire fighter hero sharing her tent with the two campers. Most were injured and four were killed under their tents. God bless them all. - This photo was taken from a mountain top looking down through the valley after the fire. Total destruction in every direction of a once beautiful forest in Eastern Washington. Blessings, Judy

Survival of the fittest. It's amazing what will survive..death and rebirth.

So sad to see, but the plants and trees will come back again! Warm wishes, Joke

What a bleak aftermath.

As bad as it is, forests depend on the occasional fire, for rejuvenation! The sequoia tree depends on forest fires, and has flameproof bark! We humans don't like to see the forests burn, though! Good luck in the challenge! Johnny:)

This looks familiar to me. We had a devastating fire where I live last year that burned thousands of acres and over fifty dwellings. 3 of my neighbors lost their homes. God Bless
