How scary! I am praying for Kelly and her family and all the other families as well as all the ones out there trying to stop the fires and protect the people. What a huge job! I can't even imagine how it would feel to know that your home and everything in it may be destroyed by the fires.

When Carl was in the Army some 30+ years ago and stationed at Ft. Huachuca Az., which is based at the base of the Huachuca mountains, fires broke out there. While no homes were threatened, the fires had to be put out and so the Army got involved and Carl's unit was sent up to work on making fire breaks etc. It was very scary knowing he was up there - I could see the fires from our windows and especially at night, it was very frightening. It wasn't until later I found out that he and his unit got caught in an area where the fire changed courses and came back at them. From our windows you could see the planes drop the water and flame retardant. I was so glad when he came home!
