Not really scared, but I was glad there was just the two of us on it! No extra shaking and we could take our time!

The Fox Lake Fire was a crown fire originally, which is why it was out of control for so long. Crown fires can jump quite a distance. Then it settled into the root system and burned underground over the winter. The firefighters dug out the still burning parts the next spring.
