Fire!

The Sunflower Fire is about 18 miles south of Payson. These photos were taken from our deck yesterday afternoon.

Helicopters were flying over our house (we live near our small airport) all day yesterday. It is a difficult area to fight a fire.....rugged terrain, not many roads and rattlesnakes to top it off. Plus it is so dry here now and very windy. We shouldn't be having so many fires this early in the season. It does make us worry.
