Wildfire Burns in the Bodie Hills

I saw a fire burning in the Bodie Hills on Friday July 18, which apparently had been ignited by lightning the day before.  Air tankers were dropping fire retardant on the fire until it got too dark for them to continue.  There were quite a few fire trucks along Bodie Road Saturday evening as I drove to my night photography workshop at Bodie, but the rain on Saturday seemed to knock it down significantly, so by mid-day Sunday only two trucks were remaining to see if it flared back up.
