Yesterday, July 4th, I got in on the Fontenelle Fire outside Big Piney, Wyoming. My assignment for Reuters was to get in close with the guys and document them and their work. More pics can be found HERE.

I love all the fire photos so far this year but I think this series probably has some of my favorites. Awesome!
Great work Jimmy
Nice pick up Jimmy, It’s always great to get boots on the ground.
