I was driving home and I could see smoke off in the distance and I thought....I live over there.
As I got closer Ken called to say he was headed out but I should take the back road home because there was smoke south west of the house and lots and LOTS of fire trucks, planes and helicopters.
So of course when I got home I whipped out my camera and walked down the block with my neighbor and into a friends backyard to snap a few photos of the helicopter that was dipping into the lake to take water to dump on to the fire.
The fire somewhat contained but they said it would probably take another two days to put out and we're having very gusty winds that just aren't helping matters.
I'm in no danger and its still over a mile from my home so don't worry about me. I just wanted to share some of my helicopter photos of FL Forestry Services at work!
