Owyhee Fire

We were on the Owyhee fire for five days. Our first day it was extremely hot. We saw temperatures as high as 113 degrees. There was also a couple of T-storms. After we received our assignment we went out to the line and then say a crop duster doing retardant drops on a slop over. Then we helped the Union hot shots mop it up.

Our second day was much cooler. It was only in the 90's. The fire for the most part went out on it's own. There was some interior burning. So the last shift we were on patrol watching to make sure nothing took off.

The country was desert and had some really nice landscape.

Below is some of the scenes we saw enjoy.....
