Fire!


There was a huge fire today at my parents' house. It was started by someone throwing a cigarette out their car window. The flames got pretty close to the house, and for awhile we thought we were going to have to be evacuated. Then the wind shifted and the fire headed the other direction. There were all kinds of fire trucks and helicopters flying around trying to put out the flames. It was about as exciting as things get here in Neola Utah.

WOW!!! We are so glad that all are well. That would be scary. I know when Becca see's this she will be wishing she was there!!!

We are so thankful that our little family there were protected. That includes Therena and Lynn as well as Sam, Lacey and Riley!!

Ange and I want to know what it looked like to see those fire trucks flying around?

The fire trucks weren't really that good at flying...but they tried really hard. :) A few more practices and they'll have it down. The helicopters kept hovering over our neighbor's pond to fill up their water buckets. It's still pretty crazy here...the fire isn't contained yet.
