So on Friday, August 20th, in the late afternoon a fire started in the pasture land behind our neighborhood. At one point in time we were able to see the flames as we stood in our backyard. We were very fortunate that the wind was blowing north rather than east that day and that Roseville Fire Dept responded quickly. It was a very fast moving fire an in an hour had claimed 500 acres. It came up to the street right behind our neighborhood and below are some of the pics of the blackened mess that is there now. Our neighbor took some pics of the actual fire, so when we get those I'll post those as well.
So, other than the fire, work, birthday celebrations (Mark was 28th on the 24th) and Sebastian teething like a mad-man we have just been trying to fit in some sleep. Not very successfully, but at least we have our backyard done now to enjoy.
Hope everyone is doing well!!
Here are the pics:
The neighborhood on the left is ours... those houses are 1 street behind us...
The sea of black that remains...
The fireman were standing on this concrete wall hosing down the roof of this house while putting out the fire below... a little close for comfort...
