Sunday evening we were hanging out at home expecting a couple friends for dinner. Joe was grilling and I was baking a cake. The kids had gone fishing with Grandpa! The neighbor to the west of us comes over and asks Joe to help put out a fire he had just started to burn. He was burning some brush he's cut down in his field. He tells Joe that the woods behind our house are burning! YIKES Joe asks me to watch the ribs. I am telling you, they were burning so close, I could see the fire. It was probably 100 yards away, but that is too close for me! The firefighters had a bulldozer go through and create a firebreak and that was pretty much the end of it. As of yesterday afternoon, Tuesday, there were still hotspots! It started four houses down from us and consumed about 40 acres.
