There was a lightning strike during a storm just behind our house in the Bradshaw Meadow. The strike was spotted early and the forest service crews had it under control before the fire could spread. The forest was still damp and the humidity was high from the rain which helped keep the fire small. Thank you firefighters!

Here is the view overlooking the Meadow from the north side
