Images (maybe) of China fire near Happy Valley...

These are from the Redding Record Searchlight;s staff. China fire is pretty much contained at present, which is timely because it has allowed many of these firecrews to move to the Trinity fires which now are burning better than 57,000 acres about 60 or so miles up the road. I think these are all CalFire people.

I'll try to get some images from the Rocky fire up later today; it has turned into a monster that is now creating its own weather system and doing pretty much what it wants to do. For anyone really interested in excellent fire photo coverage, I recommend you go to the LA Times' site and check out the portfolio their staff photographer Genaro Molina has put together in the past week of the Rocky fire and the folks fighting it, as well as some of those who have been driven out of their homes. Pretty great work.
