Thanks - excellent photos (and commentary) as always. Gotta love the envirowackos logging policies. It's a shame to see that the Sequoias are burning, as well as other old growth, but it's an even bigger shame to not be able to get equipment in there to fight these fires since Clinton's "Roadless Policy" took effect. Just another time-bomb left for the President by the 'Rats.

I have a hunch that the Hawiian fire will be impossible to extinguish.

Great Pictures Dio!

Thanks for posting the pictures of the California and Oregon wildfires, courtesy of the enviral whacko's agendas re no real management in our forests the past 10 years.

With the exception of mother nature doing her work in Hawaii,(and the Russian fighter) all these fires are caused by the U.N. and the "useless idiots' who support their agenda 21 and other lame brained ideas.

I can't believe the photgrapher who's sticking his lens on the guy whose wife set him on fire.

Yowzer! Maybe that's why it is so hot these days. I truly feel for the Ukrainians who lost their lives in the air show accident and I pray for their families. May all the fires be extinguished soon and the giant Sequoias be safe.

Wow! Thanks, Dio. Yes, as an Oregonian, I pray these fires will soon be put out. Time to Dump the Democrats, and get our forest policies changed.

The West is burning, and these blazes are consuming the funeral pyre for Democrats and environmenatalists.
