“Marge, All Of A Sudden We Have Orange Birds And Deer In Moraga!”

A smoky, fast-moving little brush fire on the hillside behind Buckingham Drive in Moraga got everyone’s attention this afternoon – particularly the air aces from CalFire.

This pilot appears to have used the photographer as an aiming stake to make this perfect retardant drop, checking the fire’s advance and turning any unwary critters in the area a Golden Gate Orange.
