Came upon a fire today. At first we thought it was a planned burn, then realized it definitely wasn’t. Debated on turning around, but our turn was just before the visible flames and heading in the opposite direction so we carried on. Debated on calling in the fire, but surely authorities were aware of a fire of this size right next to a highway that was still open and we had no cell service. By the time we got to the next town about a half hour later, fire crews were mobilizing to head out. They closed the two highways we had just driven all the way to the state line and evacuated the area. Moral of the story… A fire is a fire. Always call it in. Always use caution. 

Graphite on paper.

Those are actually some pretty tall flames.
