On Sunday,October 21st Santiago Canyon broke out in flames. Where the fire started was only about 2 1/2 miles from Mike's station. At about 6:00 pm we got the call that Mike was in route to the fire and he'd call when he could. Conner, Claire and I were having a wonderful dinner with Papa Nick and Grandma Murdy. The fire was about 1 1/2 miles from their house. Luckily, the fire continues to travel away from Papa and Grandma Moffitt's house. Daddy was assigned to the fire line where he was for the next 4 days. On Monday morning Mike called to tell us where he was and that he was fine. By this time the fire had traveled so fast and far, so many homes were threatened.
We did not leave the house for days. The air conditions were awful. Besides we were waiting to hear from Mike. We said our prayers over and over that God would protect Mike and keep him safe. He did!!
Here are a few pictures of the fire and an area that Mike was most of the time.
It is nice to have Mike home with us. It seems like life was put on hold while he was away. Reality is, it was...

I'm glad that he is safe. And yes, they are true heros! I agree.
We praise God for Mike's safe keeping! Thanks for posting those pics!
