Seen it top a ridge an come a few times with the Santa Ana winds blowing it over. Get those horrendous fire whirlwind/mini-tornadoes on the backside so hot you can feel them a half mile away. Scary stuff.
You have to be near a brush fire to appreciate how spooky it is and how fast it moves. The TV coverage does not give the sound, heat, and smell of the damn things.
The Embers sued to jump the Firebreak on the Top of the Mountain and spread the fire in the Valley beyond.
The Cycle starts all over again.
Can’t imagine being on the Fire Crew that fights these Wild Fires, but then again, I’m just an Old Geezer typing nonsense on the Internet. LOL
