Fire in the Mountains Near Palm Springs

Fire rages in mountains above Palm Springs

Imagine the horrific scenario. Southeast winds blowing up to 50 mph.  Fire in Palm Springs moves swiftly through the Indian Canyons and spreads northwest up South Palm Canyon, ending with spotty flames deep into the neighborhood of homes and condos all the way to Smoketree Shopping Center.

Can't happen. Firefighters could handle the spotty flames that would occur in the light brush on the desert side of the mountain. They're ready to move in at any sign of the fire reaching Palm Springs.
Our heroes today are the the vast number of firefighters who are needed to overcome raging flames and smoke.

Here's to the firefighters!
