Here is a pic of the fire from a house in our ward. It didn't get this close to my house. By the grace of God our town was saved last night.
Steve and I drove from my parents house (where we were staying) over to Wal-Mart to get a view of the fire at about 2 am. It was so horrifying to see. It looked immenent that at least half of our town was going to burn down. I thought there was a pretty good chance that our house would be gone by morning.
The fire fighters are so brave and such heros. Everyone hug a fire fighter today.

Thanks for letting us know you guys are okay. What a horrible thing to go through.
i was concerned about you guys last night but hoped you were on the other side of the city. so crazy how fast fires can move. glad your house is okay!
great photo!
It really was so scary to look out my back window and see how that fire just overtook the entire mountainside! At first I was sure we would be fine but in only a few hours time that thing grew so fiercely. So yes, firefighters are amazing and saved us all!
I am so glad that you are all safe and that your homes are too! I was watching the news coverage in complete disbelief.
Yeah, that grew a "little" faster than any of us expected!!
the firemen are my heros!
I've been thinking about you this weekend, and am glad your house is still there. I actually thought to myself, "at least they had their 72 hour kits ready!" But then I remembered that that would not be on your mind at all! Hope you get to go back. Keep us updated!
We are grateful you all are safe and so is your home. Our prayers were definitely answered. Those fire fighters are amazingly courageous and effective. Thank you for letting us know that you are OK.
