Looking
north over our rear fence, the fire was moving towards us. The windmill in
this photo was destroyed.
Another view facing north.
As we were evacuating, the fire trucks continued to pour on in.
Jeremy took this photo from the passenger's side.
Evacuating, about 3 p.m. One of the neighbors awaits her husband on the roadside.
The arrow marks the approximate location of our home in relation to the fire as it was spreading.
The bombers flew overhead, dropping fire retardant.
The red on the bottom of this plane shows what the neighbor's house ended up looking like!
About 6 p.m. Sunday evening after we were let back onto the property.
Another night shot.
What the photos don't show are the 22 homes that were lost during the fire, nor the preparation to evacuate with 12 dogs, 4 cats and 9 chickens! We are just glad everyone was safe, and we had NO DAMAGE the property! Praise the Lord!
