No, our home didn't get damaged in the fire we had to fight ourselves. A neighbors friend, mind you, heard me talking to the fire fighter and heard his response. He and a bunch of his friends were already in the canyon helping fight the fire. They didn't live there!

When he heard the exchange, he ran over to me, asked me where I lived and showed up with his buddies to set a backfire. It kept the fire away from the barns and our home. Thank God for strangers that do random acts of kindness!!

Oh, BTW! The firefighter did drive his truck up to our property... to tell this stranger that setting backfires was against the law! Did I say "firefighter"??
