23C/74F .. mostly cloudy, high humidity. We went out for a drive to a country town to do a bit of grocery shopping. Saw a few horses out in the fields.
Fire weather. 75°F, winds gusting to 25 mph. 150 acres started around 2:15pm today about 6 miles N of our home. Multiple runs w a VLAT, very large air tanker, a DC-10, from the tanker base 100 miles south. Some helios too.
Point of origin near road leads one to conclude campfire, cig butt, or hot exhaust as source of ignition although we had some lightening about the same time that this fire was reported.
