The wild fire near us has jumped from 70 to 100 acres in the last 4 hours, it is 103 degrees and the firefighters are still trying to contain. I offer prayers that everyone fighting these fires goes home safe at the end of it all.
The Crow Peak Fire has reached 100 acres in size with 25 percent containment.
Monday night's rainfall brought a little relief to the firefighting efforts, but today's red flag warning will test the crews as the work in high temperatures and dry conditions, according to the Great Plains Fire Information Center.
Today will see temperatures in the upper 90s and relative humidity around 10 percent. Firefighters will be working toward full containment today with aggressive suppression and improve hand and dozer lines.

This news pic is exactly what I can see from our driveway...lots of planes, copters and trucks, still more sirens.
