Took this pic of the Robertson Fire as I drove on I-90 near Big Timber. (so like 50 miles away ??)

It is pretty crazy that there are only 4 crews and 17 engines on a 20,000 acre timber fire.
Edit- looks like only maybe 8k acres is timber, the rest is grass. But still...

Posting to follow the excellent conversation among the x firefighters here, but I will add that the campground we stayed at off 212 (Greenough and the trail all the way up to MK on Rock Creek Road) have obviously had some fire go through somewhat recently burning up a lot of the fuel. Still a lot of charred wood everywhere. So hopefully even if it sparks up over there the campground areas will be relatively protected.

Inciweb shows 200 personnel. Northern Rockies is kinda notorious for sticking with their folks and only pulling from out of region when they absolutely have to.
Cooperators are as busy as they want to be. It’s absurd how much they’re getting paid compared to their federal counterparts. I selfishly can’t complain, but as a tax payer it’s always irked me.

Is that better or worse than the 9 personnel on the Crooked Creek fire that's currently at 5,100 acres?
I don't know much, but the optimism in the public info meeting webcast last night on Robertson Draw has me hopeful that it will remain manageable from here on out. It sounds like the biggest concern—although currently low-probability, between topography and the Hole in the Wall burn—was the possibility that it could jump over a drainage into Main Fork, where there's a lot more timber available as well as a contiguous fuel run pretty damn close to town.
It seems like resources are already a little stretched, which strike me as a bad sign for June.

Eat shit and drop dead to both of you. And I would relish the chance to say that to you both while I shake your hands and make eye contact with a smile on my face at a maggot gathering.
My commute doesn't put me anywhere near a mountain town, and I have no qualms about the fact that my parents helped me with a down payment on a house. I've been up-front about that from the moment I started discussing buying property on here, and I would bet that it would be eye-opening if everyone here was as honest as me. I would turn myself inside out to provide my children with the same opportunities, if I hadn't been born into a world that was already irreparably ruined and not a place in which any sane person would bring new life.
That being said, I wouldn't dig for either of you even if I had pings from your beacons. And I'm fast on the search and with a shovel.

Glade has to be the most miserable cunt on this board. A true misanthrope not even worthy of being social with all of us here on an internet forum, let alone irl. Maybe it's just time to gtfo..

To the north, there's the town of Bear Creek to complicate matters, but they seem to think it's not in imminent danger (evacuation order lifted, but I believe an evacuation warning remains in place). Not a lot of timber in the immediate vicinity of the town, though.

Most of the time Glade I'm on your side, even if I disagree, but man that last comment? Poor form

Glade, you need to get some help, or not take this PR shit so seriously. You're too angry all the time. It's not good, man.
