FIRE NOTES FROM RIGHT HERE AT POCATELLO,
IDAHO FROM HUNTERBEAR TO FRIENDS [JUNE 29
2012]
There's been a very bad fire close to Pocatello in
the Moose Creek/Scout Mountain area.
Sixty-six homes have been lost here in
less than 24 hours and the basic fire of more than 1,000 acres, although
"contained", could still break out again. Best news is that the winds,
which can be fierce around here, will be minimal for at least the very near
future.
In a few minutes we're having a tiny little family meeting,
including our animal companions, to decide how we'll handle things if a
fire crisis comes here to us. Even up here on the edge, we have good
road access and fire trucks and men can get here fairly fast. We
who live around here can certainly do protective things as well. The
homes in this general area should be fairly safe. But it's obvious we
can't take anything for granted.
If a fire crisis does come into our
setting, it won't come up from down town but will come from other
directions.
Evacuation orders could be
complicating.
One thing that's needed now in Western "hot
spots" are National Guardsmen and Federal troops.
