Fires

[DianaB]

We've been dry too and very windy this winter. On the site where I check my weather we've been in a severe warning most of the winter for fire. This time of year the farmers start burning off their pastures and we have fires around a lot.

We got a call one Sunday while we were at church (services were over) and we were told that we had a fire close to our house so we drove like crazy, even passing a police car, to get home. By the time we got here the fire was in the yard about 30 feet from the house. My FIL and a neighbor were out there spraying it down with a hose. A neighbor had burned off his pasture and the fire jumped the road and got away from him. We really worry about fires where our house is located.

I really hope that we all get some rain. This has been a really dry winter for us too.
