This photo of the Hathaway fire 80 miles east of Los Angeles was taken about two hours after the fire started on June 9. Unfortunately, there is no caption. Do you have any suggestions for a caption?

Now, thanks to John Hawkins, Fire Chief of the CAL FIRE Riverside Unit & Riverside County Fire Department, we have an actual caption, but don’t let that inhibit you from suggesting one of your own. Here’s what Chief Hawkins told us about the photo:
The picture was taken about 1pm to 2pm [June 9] looking north from the ICP. The FF standing next to the pickup is Morongo Tribal Fire Department Fire Chief Tim Beadle. The pickup was the ICP for CAL FIRE Riverside Unit and Riverside County Fire Department Battalion Chief Jeff Stowells who, at that moment, was functioning as the sole IC.
Thanks Chief.
This is a caption for the Hathaway Fire.

Hathaway Getaway?
… I think it’s Justin for the win.
Is that 6177 or 6160 pumping the hose lay?
Hey bob…., yeah well the good news is it’s in the next county so it’s their problem now.
She Gone !!!!!
How many air tankers do we have again???
Honey, never mind about dinner… I’ll just have a sandwich later.
Should’ve called in the DC-10 when it was only 7 acres!
