OMG!!! Wow, that's quite the scare you had! Yes, you're lucky your house and barn and animals are all safe and is something you can laugh about at the dinner table tonight as an almost catastrophe. You are super duper smart and showed no fear, and you were also kind enough to help the firefighters...what dingalings your neighbors were! I don't know where else the fire could have spread, but there was quick thinking on your part and you defintely did the best you could.
Big hugs!!!
