My best friend growing up when the valley of alaska had this crazy fire. His dad stole a bulldozer and basically saved all his neighbors houses. I guess it was that intense.

What would of happened if you left anyway? Or would you have been restrained in some way if you tried to leave?

to be honest idk what trouble I would have gotten in for just leaving, probably deep shit. i called my friend who was off and he went and got her. nco was a total cuntbag and had his eye on me that whole day thinking I was just trying to get out of work or something IDK - awful boss. one time I had dictated orders to go get a urine sample done and told his stupid ass and showed him the orders and he says OK see ya later and he called me 30 times in the next 2 hours "where are you? what are you doing? you're awol" - like god damn are you retarded I told you where I'm at. once I got promoted I got another supervisor thank god.

CHELAN, Wash. (AP) — Firefighters were holding their own Thursday against the largest wildfire on record in Washington state, even as rising temperatures and increased winds stoked the flames.
The National Weather Service had issued a red-flag warning earlier in the day for the fires near Okanogan, saying weather conditions had the potential to spread the flames.
"All the lines are holding," Bernie Pineda, spokesman for the 450-square-mile fire, said Thursday afternoon.
He said winds were actually pushing portions of the giant fire back on itself.
The blazes killed three firefighters last week and have burned at least 40 homes and 40 outbuildings.
Heavy smoke that had grounded aircraft lifted a bit and helicopters were able to drop water on the flames, fire spokesman Rick Isaacson said.
More than 1,150 square miles of Washington have burned, nearly the size of Rhode Island, the state Department of Natural Resources said.
Gov. Jay Inslee visited firefighters on the lines.
"They know they're in danger and this danger is persistent," Inslee said.
Inslee said the fires were more spread out across the state than last year.
"This is not just a local fire, it's a statewide slow-motion disaster," he said.
The governor met with about 20 members of the National Guard fighting a fire near Lake Chelan. They worked to protect about a half-dozen homes.
"Trying to predict what the fire is going to do is one of the hardest things," guardsmen Casey Stockwell said.
Homeowner Jake Kneisley, 41, leaned against a car down a hill from his two-story home. Kneisley said he was up all night watching the fire near his home.
"I feel incredibly lucky these people are here for us," Kneisley said as firefighters worked nearby.
Elsewhere in the West, people in west-central Idaho near Riggins have been told to evacuate due to a wildfire that expanded to 40 square miles. Nearly 600 firefighters were working to protect structures along U.S. Highway 95 and the Salmon River.
In Oregon, a large wildfire near John Day had increased in size, and firefighters were concerned about explosive growth. The fire has burned 134 square miles.

Pretty insane... You've got to be pretty damn brave to fight a fire in those kinds of winds... Shit's way unpredictable.... and needless to say, ridiculously hot.
Back on the infamous day of October 8th 1871(I think) when almost all of wisconsin, chicago, etc burned down - the fire was soooooooo incredibly hot it literally jumped across the peninsula, across Lake Michigan from one side of Michigan to the other... a distance of 26,000 feet

Those pics really put it into perspective for me. Pretty bad times. I heard on the news that a rain front should be coming in soon.
Leavenwworth is a cool little town too. They have a great Oktoberfest.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference to you op, but I'm guessing you linked that picture directly from your friends' facebook? Folks who know more about computers than I could probably ID your friend.

There will definitely be a few....
Though I've always wondered if chemicals used to fight the fires end up soaking into the morels or what the deal is with that?
