According to OregonLive.com, a bunch of golfers went for an evening round near dusk on Monday when a fire of epic proportions began running down the opposite hill. Pictured are the golfers finishing up on the final hole before calling it a day at a Washington state golf course.
However, the apparent danger portrayed by the photograph is deceiving. The golf course, Beacon Rock, is protected by the Columbia River and the people pictured we’re never in danger thanks to nature’s ultimate fire block– a massive body of water.
