Those fire fighters are heroes on the front line. Natural disasters are the scariest. It looks like a volcano!
August 30th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
I hope no body gets hurt. I am thankful to live in Oregon where we actually have live trees not dead brush everywhere..geeeze.

August 30th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Has anyone died yet? This is bad.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
It looks like a volcano just erupted. So Cal has it bad this year.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
What part of southern California is that? Looks like a national forest or something.
August 30th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Its so sad, we lose so much forest each year. I guess its part of nature but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Tyler! How close did you get?! You need to be careful! With the luck you have (getting hit by a car with no engine in it), you need to be very careful with the risks you take!
BTW, cool picture.
August 31st, 2009 at 7:31 am
That’s insane!
August 31st, 2009 at 1:18 pm
These pictures are incredible Tyler. I’d like to say thank you to firefighters everywhere for all that you do!

Stunning images Tyler
September 1st, 2009 at 10:43 am
What a way to capture such a tremendous moment. I’m sure there are more images. This is breathe taking and powerful. Thank you for this. Truly moving.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:29 pm
that’s some scary shit man
September 1st, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Yikes! Wildfires like this are just one of the many reasons why my grandmom and mom bug me about moving to L.A. in the near future. Unfortunately for them, it’s not working, haha!
I do however feel really bad for all the people who’ve lost their homes and lives in this fire. Although this is an unfortunate tragedy, I would still love to see more pictures!
September 1st, 2009 at 9:11 pm
very powerful. i wouldn’t expect any less from you.
good job TS
