Decker Island Burns Down
A fire
broke out on nearby Decker Island earlier in the day, and was
still in full swing when I was
driving home at 11:30pm. I stopped in the parking lot of Delta
Windsurf, and took some pictures.
I stayed
and watched for about an hour and a half, in disbelief as the
fire advanced against a solid 25 mph
wind from the lee side of the island all the way to the water on
the windward side. Essentially, the whole
island burned down, though the larger trees on the island were
spared. From what I heard later, the
livestock on the island also managed to escape the flames.
