Okay this ain't good.....

Just read on another site, and no not SE cause it is still down, but apparently the fire that started (yesterday) at Hog Island moved South to Power Lines, and continued to Orange Groves.  I am going to try and confirm this, cause that is a huge fire.  Also states that this fire was due to natural causes, no foul play suspected.  I will keep you all posted...

wow that is Huge....

wow that is Huge....

I know, I just hope it's not true, hopefully it was just misunderstanding as to where and how far.  I do know that it started on Hog Island, just can't see how it went that far.  But I do know that it has really windy in the area too.  Waiting on more word, will keep you all posted...

Okay just got off the phone w/someone who double checked, and the fires are all out.  Apparently from what I understand there may of been two smaller fires.  The one at hog island and another at pine island (had no idea so many islands).  The fire by hog island is still smoldering, but the fire department is out there.  So apparently, which is good news, what I read may of just been a misunderstanding.  It does not appear that these fires took out more camps, it's just so dang confusing when you cant personally see what's going on.

Didn't mean to pass on what may not of been true, but I know the person that posted it, and he wouldnt of posted what he didnt think was true.  I quess with just so much going on, this will happen.

So the final word is that all fires are out, with the only exception at hog island is still smoldering, but the fire department is there.  People are apparently checking camps, and when I hear more, I will let you all know.  This time I will get it from the horse's mouth.

The Secretary of SEPA has been very involved in knowing what's going on, and so has our key lady, they have really been on top of this whole thing.  So we all owe them a BIG THANK YOU.

Does anyone know of anyone else that was out at Holopaw on Saturday or Saturday night, that took pictures.  If so could you please have them posted either on this site, or provide a link that they can be viewed.  Or if you like they can be emailed directly to me at cheropride@aol.com.

Thanks Becky
