Deer in river surrounded by fire

Posted on 24. Oct, 2007 by kchristieh in animals, local news

If I were a deer, this is where I’d go too. I hope they followed the river downstream.

NOTE: I was told by the person who sent this to me that this was taken near Lake Arrowhead this week. That’s incorrect: Ron Brookman left a comment that says, “This is NOT a picture from Lake Arrowhead. It is, however, a real picture taken in Montana on August 6, 2000, at the Bitterroot Fire.  A famous, once-in-a-lifetime photo! See: http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/deerfire.asp” Thanks, Ron!! 

I received this picture from my sister-in-law’s sister-in-law. Does that mean she’s my sister-in-law²?

    I heard a radio commentator say that forest fires are good for the environment. It’s hard to believe that anything good can be produced from something like this
