This wildfire has been burning only 8 miles from our little town of Dixon, Montana since last Monday (July 27th). My neighbor, who is with our small, local fire department, offered to drive me down close to it so I could get some photos. Beautiful, but sobering to realize it is so close to our home. Today ( August 1st) is the first day the news has indicated any containment of the fire. The last report I heard it was burning over 3000 acres!
@lindasees Thank you, Linda! I owe the opportunity to my neighbor, who called me and said, " Grab your camera and I'll take you down to where the fire is burning!"
Heartbreaking to see wildfires... I think not only of human loss of life or property, but loss of forest and wildlife. Prayers this is under control right away. Maybe the Lord will send rain. Stay safe.
