This photo was taken aboard Camp Pendleton, approx. 1 mile south of the Commissary. At this point we had been evacuated from our housing area approx. 1 mile to my 6 o'clock. Once safely away I had nothing to do but come back and follow the progression of the fire with my own two eyes. For everyone's information, the news reports were not only inaccurate, but untimely as well.
