Ka'u Wildfire

I've seen A LOT of house fires working in Flint, Michigan but this brush fire was so much more eerie in a gigantic powerful way.  It was huge and spreading fast.  The endless hours of work put in by the firefighters is incredible.  They managed to divert the fire away from all houses and even a hospital keeping everyone safe until they could completely put out the fames.

This first shot is from a road block on the main highway on the Big Island.  The fire was approaching the road so they redirected everyone to a bypass road.  After the traffic cleared, the reporter and I got permission to move closer to the flames and I was able to make the following photos.
