Fire On the Mountain!

Green Mountain, that is. The wind-driven grass fire was started by a lightening strike on Monday August 4th, 2005. More than 100 fire fighters from at least 10 different agencies helped fight the fire which burned a fence and melted some siding on one house. The fire was close to my condo on the north east side of green mountain, but far enough away that I did not worry about my own safety. I watched during the afternoon as approximately 900 acres was charred. Flames were visible from my condo on this hillside.
