“OUCH……That’s Going To Hurt!”😳
The brush fires are continuing both day and night, up at the logging clear cut on Sumas Mountain!
I believe the loggers started burning these scrap wood fires, well before Christmas!😮
It has been a while since Silvertop hiked to the top…………today was a good day to explore!😊
So much heavy equipment is needed to clear this Mountain, before they can even begin to start replanting with baby trees!😇
Sitting behind a log, I discovered four yellow pressure pump up backpacks, marked “Indian Fire Pump”.
At first I thought these were filled with diesel fuel, or kerosene, to start the fires.
I shared a photo with ChatGPT and ask what these yellow plastic tanks were used for………….
“Silvertop, these backpacks are also used by the Forest Service. They are filled with water, and are used to put out spot fires, they do not contain anything other than water!”
“Thanks Chat GPT for the information!”👍😊
Just after these photos, I snapped a photo of two gasoline powered fans!
These are used to “Fan” the flames of the very wet wood, to help start, and keep the numerous fires burning!
Today everyone was already gone for the day……….
The smell of wood smoke filled the air, from the many still smoldering fires on this Mountain side!🔥
Broken clouds at about 3,000 feet were rolling in from the Ocean…….
I checked my weather app on my iPhone…..
Nothing but Sunshine for tomorrow…..Nice!😎
Silvertop checked the time………..
I had about thirty minutes till sunset. I guess it was time to head back downhill!😇
I paused for one more deep breath, and to take in the view, one last time for today!😊
Even with the clear cut, it’s still so impressive up top, I need to come back up here more often!😇
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
