Approx. 2-3 miles from my house, across the 60 from us.
So far the wind is blowing it away from us, but I'm gonna get the trailer and truck ready and filled with halters, leads, water and crates for all the animals in case. I have all the windows closed up because of my asthma and I am watching the fire and keep checking the news stations for updates.

The houses you see in the fore ground are in our little community I pointed to the general area where my house is...

Yikes... Hope it stays well away from you. Even the smoke can really be a pain.

More photos, taken from the backyard and at the edge of our little housing community.
The field you see is across the street from our housing community's walls.

Are those hills you can or have ridden up into on your trail rides?

WB- no they aren't :-D

the lastest news report said the fire is completely contained and the people evacuated are being allowed back home. :D

Still a little smoky outside but I've got my mask ready!
