Yea, I noticed that too!
I like the part about we don't get fires like this very often. Even more reason to watch it like a hawk.
In our area, we rarely get "crown" fires, but when we do, you just have to get out of the way and find a place to starve the fire for fuel. It isn't possible to get enough water up in the crown fuels to stop a crown fire, even with aircraft. It is an "educational experience" to be under a crown fire when one starts, to say the least.
Sounds like the fire was probably of benefit to the overall heath of the small mountain by getting rid of underbrush and some of the less heathy pines. It'll look much nicer and more natural in a year or two.
