normally I don't talk alot about my local area besides gardening tuesday april 4 2023 some time after 3pm EST Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area with a size 1900 acres had a fire. 700 acres or so burned in a serious wildland fire. the fire was 8 alarms. and was less then 1/4 mile from where I live. 1 minor injury and no fatalities. one structure a shed destroyed. rain Thursday killed the last of hotspots but you can still smell the scent of burned organic material even today when wind blows from that direction. fields of ash and a few unburned areas can be seen from roads nearby. Hottest thing to hit town since Tom Selleck shot scene for a movie here. before that some guy named Poe tried to get job at local high school in 1850's. creeply for the world he did not get the job.
well when I get chance I might take a few picture of burn area soon to be new meadow. signing off till Saturday 04/07/23 war garden 2017.

That's close! wargarden2017, Thank goodness you are safe. Did you have to evacuate? How sad to think that some endangered plants may have been destroyed.

desertwoman they have done controlled burns there before so the plants might be fine.
