Fighting the Fire

I took this the other day as the helicopters were flying around and getting water to dump on the fire. I will have more soon, just waiting for our laptop to get back from the shop!
Good news though!! We were able to move back into our home last night and it sure felt good to get back in after 10 of evacuation. Many are still waiting to go home and some will have to rebuild. Our little section of neighborhood was very fortunate and I think someone must of been watching out for us. The fire line comes within 50 ft. of our property. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support! I sure appreciate you all!!!!!!!

Hi Wendy... as you know, I'm not really contributing to this site anymore but thought of you and prayed for you and all those affected through the evacuations and fighting the fire. I checked this site every day waiting to hear from you. I am so glad you and your family are okay and that your home was spared, but I'm sure it has been a tough time for you and your community. I'll come back to check out your photos and the stories you have to go along with them. Take care.

@dvarey Thank you so much Diana for your wonderful comments and support! It has been difficult, but I also have hope that our community will rebuild. I am so grateful for not losing our home and it comes as a shock every time I see so many homes that are completely gone. Thank you again!!! It really means so much!
