I don't know what I'm going to write about after this fire is out.
Today the moved the containment percentage up to 85. It seems like with the rain they've been getting there isn't any real spreading of the fire, just smoldering. They're actually pulling out many of the firefighters and their equipment, tomorrow they're transferring control of the fire from the Pacific Northwest National Incident Management Team 2 back to the Minnesota Team A Incident Management Team. The Pacific Northwest guys are some wildfire ringers they brought in when things were looking bad.
The obnoxious heat has gone away for the moment, the high today was around 85. Last night with the outside temperature in the lower 60s and operation heat suck going we got positively cold. It was a nice change.

We're still waiting for the break in the heat here.
Also...I'm still waiting for some sort of explanation of the canoe fire fighters. So, they DID have some sort of pump/canon on their canoes?
