the rialto/fontana fires

I live right next to the fires, so here are some pics I took for all you guys!

forget the news, this is in the action! I was going to bust out my evo but it was a nightmare so I just walked up to the fires and stook on rooftops

Neat pics, but it has nothing to do with Evo General - head to Off-Topic.

Amazing pictures. That is some scarry stuff. The only big fires we get down here are when someone sets the marsh on fire so that the ducks have more place to land. The more places to land the more ducks to kill. Makes a big mess though.

crasher - that looks just like my old subdivison (albeit - they all did look the same). EDIT: Found it. My old house was between Baseline, Cherry, 15, and Foothill.

Hope they get that under control.

wow you moved far away , yeah those fires are about 3 miles north (north fontana, north rialto)

it was an air show you couldnt believe how close these airplanes were to the houses, I can literally jump and touch a plane as they pass by.

I know.

Gotcha. We had fires once when I was at a school in Redlands. The fires were about 2 miles away. We still had school (?), but we just spend the whole day watching the planes dump anti-fire chemical over and over. Those pilots do fly low, just over the tree tops, and powerlines. Pretty cool though.
