Big Fire Down The Street! - Martoch - 05-09-2007
<a href=\"http://www.nwfdailynews.com/article/4885\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.nwfdailynews.com/article/4885</a>Smoke was pretty much covering our town as fire spread through over 30 acres of the nearby trees. Thankfully, there were no injuries and minimal structural damage. I took a ton of pictures and met a woman that had a MUCH better camera, so hopefully she'll e-mail them my way so I can share them with you guys. The firemen were unable to go into the woods, so they were shooting water as far as they could from the road. My wife is still at the scene and said they brought in bulldozers to help contain the fire by clearing paths in the trees. The smoke was so heavy that you couldn't see 20 yards away! The fire was pretty deep into the woods by the time I got there, so it was hard to get good shots of the flames.<img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire5.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://members.cox.net/mikeishome/fire12.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

Hey Martoch, Hope all is well. We got the smoke all the way over here (Gainesville). Probably form Lake county though. My truck had a layer of ash on it today. Hope this big ole storm hits soon.
