Yesterday I went to town, and on the way home I noticed that dreaded haze, which means a fire somewhere! Apparently there is a good one just a bit frim where I live, so far they have lost over 44 acres and that was as of early yesterday, so who knows how much now. Then as I was unpacking the groceries the siren went off, and there was aload of smoke just down from my home, so I took a run to check what was going on, and it was a fire that was just outside of my library. There was onlyh one fireman left herre the rest are up fighting the other fire... so it was put out by community members. the library is ok it was caught in time..whew! I think it could have been a careless person throwing a smoke or something as it was in the grassy area. Was a big scare though.
Now hope they get the other fire in control, it is pretty scary! Oh and the smell of smoke is everywhere...yuck not great for the asthma. My dd is having a hard time with it today.
Anyhow pray they get it out soon!

HI Lor
I sure will pray they get that fire out quickly. I am so glad that the community helped get the fire out that was so close to your library. What a terrible loss that would have been.
Asthma and smokey air are not a good thing. They finally got the fire out that was burning north of us. Thank heavens the smoke didn't come down into the valley.
Love ya

Glad they could save the library. Will keep positive vibes the fires are out soon. As Kaci mentioned...be happy to share our precip. Another week of major storms predicted here.
Best wishes,
Rain

The fire is pretty much out now, the helicopter pilot told me that it is pretty much just mop up time now.
It is scary when it is so close to home, and lately we have had such bad winds it was very tense to see if it spread
Thanks Kaci,
looks like they have things under control and almost out...thank goodness!
People really dont think and do stupid stuff like throw a lit smoke out, just takes one little spark and a whole forest can go or a community ... not good!
Glad things are getting under control here though!
Hugs,
