SO, I seem to always be in the right place at the right time to get some cool pictures (sorry not trying to brag but it just happens).

Anyways the other day I was on my way to my friends house when I turned the corner to see a bunch of smoke just starting to rise from the ground. I called my friend, told her to get her camera because we were going to take pictures.

I picked her up and went and took these (P.S. Non of these are edited. Just put them on my computer and put my watermark on them):

I was there before the fire trucks were. I ended up taking just under 200 pictures of the fire in the 40 min I was there. Then went and submitted these to the news and got a few shown on the news which was fun.

Anyways enjoy!

3 just looks evil to me.


do you know why this happened? It kinda looks like a controlled burn or something at first because it seems to be random individual trees, not whole areas of them.

 

Nope not a controlled burn. I was right on the edge of the fire. It was burning up a hill so it looks like in some pictures that it's just trees when in fact everything behind it was black already.

I heard it was started by some idiot who set tires on fire.

#8 looks like Moses' 'burning bush'

Thanks for sharing, good pics.

 

that's crazy man. did you submit your pictures with the water marks on them? what kind of idiot sets tires on fire under a freaking pine

 

You know those security guards that cause an incident so they can look like a hero? They always seem to be in the right place at the right time too. Hmm....

Haha just messin' with ya man. Nice shots.

 

That pine tree got owned. Do you just drive around all day or what?

 

Yup! And they said "We have been getting a lot of amazing pictures of this fire from a Josh Lambert (my actual last name is Lambeth so im not sure how they got that wrong.)"


Yup I pretty much drive all day for work But i got these after work was done on my way to a friends house.

those were my burning tires. I forgot where I left them. Is it too late to pick them up?

Nice pics. You do get lucky. Even if see something cool, its always a split second before its gone. Like that chick yesterday on the enduro, accidentally dumping the clutch while trying to shoot out in front of me. Unintentional wheelie into falling/rolling across the road. She was ok, but damn, I'd have liked to get some shots of that.

 

I love #4 - looks awesome the way the tree is fully outlined in flames.
