Fire north of Happy Jack

Recommended Posts

I was headed out to check some water and found this fire burning. It's about 5 miles north of Hapoy Jack on the edge of Jacks Canyon. 2 trucks of hot shots and a bunch of forest service fire department rolled in already. David

And heaven forbid it burns south towards the timber. Bad news.

I've seen some shady people on that road before.

I like that area for shed hunting. I hope they put it out soon.

called the Jack Fire and is growing, wind isn't helping, friend of mine on it says he wouldn't be surprised if it hits 1000 acres by tonight

They are bringing in a lot of fire fighters on this one. I managed to get a pic of a tanker flying over me and a helicopter carrying water. David

Looks like it's continuing from where the Canyon fire of 2012 ended.

The direction it's going there really isn't much to burn.

On second thought the major power lines along 87 are probably the reason they are attacking this fire wit a lot of resources.

I heard something on FB about a truck fire and some climbers that were questioned. No good...
