ScottAdams Report post Posted June 20, 2006 A huge mushroom cloud developed off to the East of Morenci this afternoon. By the time I made it out with my camera it looked more like a smoke plume. Apparently there is a huge fire burning in the Gilas. I took a few photos from town. The fire looks to be East of Glenwood and North of Silver City.

COOSEFAN Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Hey Scott, I am always amazed by your pic's! You use a Leica camera don't you? If so, what model is it? Even those pics of you guys out fishin were awesome, your pics are always very sharp and the colors always look right. That looks more like a volcano erupting than a fire, unfortunately it looks like it is a bad fire. Thanks, JIM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunderbolt Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I could see the cloud from safford today. It looked like a rain cloud. I even asked someone if there was rain in the forcast. That pic doesn't do it justice, that cloud was huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottAdams Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I use a Leica Digilux 2 camera. It does take some very nice photos. Thunderbolt is right, that cloud was huge. The first time I saw it I thought is was a big thunderhead and then realized it was smoke. It doesn't look good for the forests remaining open. I have a trip planned to Big Lake July 13th. I hope we see some relief by then. Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesSlayer Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Yes there is a fire burning I live in silver but the smoke does'nt look like that from here. It's more hazy and less puffy. Those are sweet pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Its called the Bear fire. Burning east-north east from Bearwallow Mountain. Evacuations took place yesterday including Willow Creek and Snow lake campgrounds and area ranches. It burned over 7000 acres from noon yesterday to 7:00am this morning.
