There will be a cake walk, so please bring a baked good (cake, cupcakes, cookies, etc…)

Below is a link to a YOUTUBE video of a brush fire in Reno.

Keith Worley, Forestor and Consultant says, "[The Reno fire is] pretty spectacular to say the least. This shows how a standard suburban subdivision can be at risk... regarding the realities of wildfire behavior under high wind conditions."

Check out the video with the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7nprYdLM9E

There are other links to this same fire on YouTube and include reference to "Reno NV Ridgecrest House" and "Six Homes Destroyed in Reno Fire" that show camera shots from other angles. The Ridgecrest shot is from the street above.
