Big Horn Fire - Mt Bady 5-13-08
« on: May 13, 08, 08:59:10 AM »
From a Yahoo talk group:

Mount Baldy fire called the Big Horn Fire. Took off around 6am
this morning.. Pretty good plume of smoke although at this time brush is still a tad wet from the early morning dew....gonna heat up
somewhat today then really get hot. I'm sure the fire guys are trying
like heck to get a line around this one fast.....looks to be from 50
to maybe 80 acres at this time.....
