Heartfelt thanks to all the firefighters who quickly contained this fire.
I am a downhill, downwind, neighbor, who, to my horror, watched this fire progress from a billow of smoke to a full blaze, before being put out by firefighters.
My house’s life flashed before my very eyes. Something I’ll never forget. Deepest gratitude.
