Yesterday afternoon I learned the out of control Mountain wildfire was moving through parts of the lovely city where we lived previously. Near the active fire at sunset were schools, the hospital, library and airport.
Our friends are all safe although one has had to evacuate along with a very ill husband. Others have packed their cars as the high winds can cause new fire locations. At sunset no one had been killed but many homes and much brush land in the nearby hills had burned along with a much bigger area outside of city boundaries.
Firefighters work overnight but no updates on the location or size of the fire are issued.Waiting for sunrise to find out how much has been destroyed and where the fire has moved overnight.
I always feel sad about wildfire destruction but am very sad this morning as I know the areas that have burned or are threatened so well.
