Title: Race Through Hell
Post by: Solus on May 04, 2016, 02:38:00 PM

Found this video on the FB page of someone who evaced from the wild fire currently raging in Canada.   Not sure if the video is of the trip through that wild fire, but  Race Through Hell   works as a title.

I can't remember where this wildfire was but I always liked this picture.

I ran off to watch TV but I'm back. I've seen that video or one very much like it before. I don't think it's new but it really gives you an idea what it's like to be there. The place in the picture I posted was Bitterroot Forest, Montana in 2000. Whenever I see a video or picture of a forest fire I think of that one. It was a once in a lifetime shot that some people can't believe is real. http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/bitterroot.asp#photo

Oakland California went through this back in 1991.
