Eagle fire pictures, part 1

Discussing strategy

Discussing strategy. July 24, 2011.

Here are some pictures taken at the Eagle fire in San Diego County, which burned between Warner Springs and Borrego Springs, California. All of these photos are from the CalFire Flickr page. The first two photos were taken by Kevin Pack, CalFire VIP photographer. For the third one the photographer is not listed, but it should be credit: CalFire. There were no captions on the photos that described exactly what was taking place, so I made up my own. The dates the photos were taken are available. Most of these photos were uploaded to Flickr on July 31, 2011. The fire was contained after burning 14,100 acres.
