So much has happened before this fire even began but I had to start with this video before returning to past events. Lighting struck and our valley had a HORRENDOUS fire this past week that is still burning today. Thanks to fire fighters hard work it is 67% contained at this point. Our family left town for a week to find a way to breathe some fresh air and are happy to be at home now in better circumstances.
This video has good footage of some of the events.

The only thing missing is the terror in a lot of people's hearts as the fires were getting closer to their homes. It's a crazy experience to look around your home, wondering what you may never see again and what is important enough to try and bring with you.
Thank you Fire Fighters for saving our valley!
