Lightning, Smoke and Fire!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun

4th of July!

 

Bailey will be doing a lot of this today

as he likes to bark at all the firework noise

 

which goes on half the night around here

so no one gets much sleep.

 

Mom was a little nervous cause it has

been very hot here and the wind

came up just before dark.

 

We did not want to see a repeat of last weekend

 

Last Saturday we had a late evening

thunder storm come through

 

Sunday evening we heard sirens

and then fire trucks started going up our road.

Then we saw the smoke

and more and more fire trucks going up the road

 

Before long it looked like this only a few miles

from our house!!

It is thought that the fire was caused by the

lightning the night before.

 

Dad got out the garden hose to have it ready

in case we needed it.

 

 



On Monday the wind came up again

and the fire grew from

125 acres to over 1000 acres

 

 

Do you see the spotter plane??

 

 

 

This tanker truck was going to fill up from

the irrigation canal and Dad was there ready to help.

 

Thankfully the fire went up into the hills

and not down into the houses below

No structures were lost.

 

We thank all the hard working emergency people

that helped keep us safe!

 

 

Have a great weekend everybody!!
