Around 4 this afternoon a forest fire started across the road from my subdivision. They told us there was a voluntary evacuation, so we decided to stay, but did begin to get some things packed just in case. As I was loading the dog beds in the vehicle, I glanced over to the woods behind the subdivision. They were on fire. Embers from the original fire had jumped the subdivision by at least 500 yards. Now the fire was burning on two sides of me. At that point I decided it was time to get out. Once the wind died down the firefighters were able to get the fire under control. We were allowed back in less than an hour ago. Fortunatly no homes were lost. The fire is still burning, but they say the danger to our homes is over.
