Caller from Harrison Park
Was on North Peak overlooking lake
Saying mountain is devastated. "the mountain just burned"
Solid wall of flame at 2000ft going from west to east. Mt is 6000 ft. Flames were 400 ft high. Trees were like colums of gasoline (trees dead due to beetles) Saw the mountain and his home burn. Told police "I'm watching my house burn, Cop said So am I."
Caller sounds completely spent.
Thinks there were maybe 400-500 homes lost tonight. Wise decision that FF chose not to fight there. Would have been suicide.
