The sky was on fire Saturday evening when I returned home from a wedding… it seemed that sometime that day a fire had started on the butte a few miles above the town I live in. The Sweet volunteer fire department joined with fire departments from around the area to make sure no houses were destroyed. Six other structures (barns, sheds, feedlots, etc) were destroyed along with 7,600 acres of grass – which will put a big financial pressure on the ranchers in the area. =/

Below are some pictures of the fire along with a video from inside the cockpit of plane which dropped fire retardant on the fire.
