Keene Complex Fire - Sept. 10



On the morning of Sept. 10th lightning hit this area in the Keene valley around 5am. These images are from either my home or about a mile away from my home. During the day the fire grew with very strong east winds. By the evening, the fire was climbing fast up a valley that is behind Golden Hills. At night the scene was ominous.... until a rain showers made a real dent on putting out many of the fires.

The following sequence of images shows how the flames in a ravine exploded over just a few minutes.












View after sunset the mountain and surrounding area.
