The Machine Gun Fire/Herriman Utah Fire

Yes we were right in the path of this fire Sunday night. What a truly awesome site as the flames licked up all along the ridge and it moved down the mountain at us. I am truly greatful for all the efforts of the fire/EMS/police/national guard and other emergency crews. Having been one in my pastlife (volunteered on a fire dept in Ohio and police officer in Kansas City) I can imagine what they put up with.



Mostly I am greatful I was home and able to get the dogs out with me. I could not imagine not being able to come home and having my home destroyed with my dogs in it. That would be a thought I would have never been able to get out of my mind had it happened.

Thanks to our wonderful friends who let us stay for two nights until it was safe to come home! You will see her photo with her two husky mixes in many of our posts. Her husband isn't much of an outdoorsman so it's usually us and our dogs and whom ever else we can talk into going.
