It looks like another long hot Summer ahead, with three wildfires already. We saw each of them yesterday flying back from Lompoc. Not having heard about the Windmill Fire NW of Buellton it was a surprise to see a new fire there with air tankers and ground crews hard at work. The nearby Las Cruces Fire still had plenty of crews working, and some quickly went to help on the new fire. In the hills above Goleta clouds beyond the mountains cast the Holiday Fire burn area in an ominous light.
We too appreciate your awesome aerial photos and updates.
A TSUNAMI THANKS John Wiley!
I looked at the AMAZING PHOTO you posted on SBitZ.net of the phoschek drop at the Windmill Fire. How amazing you happened upon the fire – from many miles away as you stated. The attack airplane in front of the phoschek is perfect!!
