Richard Reuse, an Area Forester with the Virginia Department of Forestry sent us a video and some photos that were taken at the Tarrington fire (map) in Chesterfield County, two miles west of Richmond, Virginia.
Here is a short video that Richard sent us:
From Richard:
This was one of the worst fire days I have ever seen in my 25 years in Virginia. 7% RH is just crazy low for Virginia and add 45mph winds and….. well, welcome to California.
There is some good archived videos on the fires we’ve had during the last week. You can look on the Richmond TV stations websites. NBC12, wric.com, and www.wtvr.com. I’m sure there is good coverage on the Virginia Beach and Charlottesville TV stations too. Most of the fire activity was in the eastern part of the state which is extremely rare.
Richard said it was the first time he had burned out from a sidewalk.
Thanks Richard
Hmmmm. Seems to be missing some PPE.
Here is your boy Bones in action.
