Holy crap, dude, I didn't realize you were so close to the blazes. Since you and I coincidentally happen to live in the same metropolitan area (which I will leave undisclosed for privacy reasons), I heard about this brushfire in the local news and wondered about you. I just figured that you might be somewhere further away from where it was. Must have been quite a shock! Good to know you, your home, and your family got out safely.

There've been a ton of brushfires here lately, which spread because of the drought. Over near Hamilton Pool Road there was one about two weeks ago but I don't think it was quite as bad as the one where you are.

Anyhow, I heard four firefighters got injured and there were two injured civilians. Not good… I'm just glad that your family and your cul-de-sac made it.
