Idaho Valley forest fire

It had been a long hot and dry summer and the autumn was warm and dry too. So, as we drove into the mountains, a forest fire broke out in the valley below.

 

Later that evening, we discovered on the TV news that the fire had been started by someone doing 'controlled' burning which got out of control. If the authorities locate the perpetrator, the plan is to charge them with the costs of putting out the fire. Could be very expensive!

 

Near Boise, Idaho.
