Sawmill fire Started Saturday July 14th seven miles away

 930 AM Monday July 16th

 See my emergency yellow swimming pool if fire gets to road.
This was provide by forest service.


 Around noon getting closer. It is burning neighbor's timber.




 Help is here !!!!

 Hooked up trailer just in case.
 Still watering house smoke is choking me.
It is really taking off now in timber.
If it gets over ridge all that stands between it an me is field grass.

People are pulling out their camp trailers.

Power lines are on my property they turned them off I have no water now to keep house wet.
The sound is unreal it is a loud roar.
 Asking the good lord for help. Running around with shovel putting out small grass fires.
Thirteen hours 250 men, 4 truck tankers,4 small planes, 4 helicopter's, 2 C131 transports, they held fire at other side of the ridge.  The road goes through our property they made there stand on house side of road.I will say that at 7:30 PM the wind changed the fire was coming head on toward  the house. I looked up and asked one more time, I have no water but will fight with all I have. He heard me the sky opened up & it poured rain for over 30 minutes. Thank you to all of the men & women that fought the fire to saved our farm & all of the others.Thank you Lord for your blessings.
