The smoke was extremely heavy this morning but a steady breeze has cleared it up. The fire is moving very slowly in our area and so far the winds are in our favor giving us much hope that the firefighters will be able to hold the first line which runs from above the Stone House (aka the Grahams) to the steep cliffs opposite our berm. The fire is still expected to hit that first line sometime tomorrow afternoon unless weather conditions change. In the meantime, hyeres another story about how fantastic the fire crews have been: The highlight of yesterday came as John was beginning to clear brush up behind the Honeymoon shed because he was worried it was a potential fire hazard for Jack & Judys place, when the fire crew began to return from a 12 hour day across the river. As they passed they saw John in the thick brush with his chainsaw and asked if he needed any help. Before he could even answer the hill was covered in yellow jackets, cutting brush and hauling it into piles on the dry riverbed. Within 30 minutes the hill was clear. These guys and gals are amazing! A HUGE shout out to the fire crews and their families! We are deeply grateful and in awe of all that you do.
