A lot of houses in there hidden in the forest.
Let's hope they beat this one quickly.

Spend some time and money on establishing an Estate plan, a Legal Will, your wishes and who is the Executor. Watch Grant of Probate videos. Understand the process to help yourself and loved ones.

You're right Queen. Apparently they're hitting it hard. There are ranchers we know that have their place right next to this. It's scary for all these folks. Especially with the Rock Creek fire from last year so fresh in their minds.

Locals are sharing that the fire area is still smouldering but pretty much fully contained.
The local pizza joint fed the crews last night in appreciation.
