This is a really bad one. This morning I heard that 85,000 acres had burned, it had 0% containment, and the town of Pinedale is engulfed. Winds of 36 mph are expected today and so far more than 20 buildings in Pinedale have burned. It just makes me sick. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

No, fortunately, this fire is about 200 miles to the northeast, but it's in a beautiful area that I know quite well. Although people's lives and homes are the most important things to save, there are a number of significant archaeological sites up there that may be badly damaged or destroyed by the fire, too.
