Battling the blaze, telling the story »


When a fire hit the Bonny Doon community in Santa Cruz, California earlier this month, iReporter PSYCHOSiiS posted some incredible images. This past Friday, when several more devastating wildfires broke out in the area, he followed up by reporting on one of them in Watsonville, California, with the help of writer Jesse William.

Besides the very compelling way PSYCHOSiiS told these stories, setting the scene and providing details on what sets this fire apart from others he had seen, he says he went into these dangerous situations fully prepared, "wearing fire protective gear, boots, a hard hat, breathing apparatus, camel back-pack, etc."

Do you have photos or video of wildfires? Share them with us. But as always, we want to remind iReporters and future iReporters to watch out for their own personal safety while covering these potentially dangerous situations.

Sir,

I thought of not witting to you any more but before that I wanted to clarify this.

I am at mess now, my life is so messy and don't know what to do now.

Whenever you mail me pl don't mention that I ever telephone you . Sir, this is my humble request if I am not at all getting this award then I will stop contacting you.

It is saying I am scammed. I feel why should you do to me, when I didn't harm you at all.

Just let me know that I am getting money definitely. Even though I know yahoo headquarters say they do not have such a prize award, I still want to believe you not my fiance because I lost my money and the money of family and friends now. I am so hurt, please comfort me now with good words in a e-mail or phone call., your words of hope and comfort are what I need again now. Thank you that I will not need send you any more money now! I need my money back I sent you if you will not

Send to me the promised prize award

Money!!!! PLEASE!!! SIR.

MUANI.

Attn: Ms Muani,

I quite understand your loss, but I am giving you 100% assurance that as soon as you send the said amount, and I balance it up and pay for the code, its just a three hours thing.As soon as the charges as been paid, the money will reflect immediately in your account.

Therefore I want you to be rest assured that you have noting to worry about just try as much as you can to raise and send the money as soon as you can, so they can proceed with the transfer of your money.

Waiting to read from you as soon as possible.
