false alarms.


This picture was taken by the last civilian leaving Greer yesterday and the snap shot just happened to be of my family cabin with an ominous black cloud and the view of fire in the background. It was taken at 2:10 pm yesterday with word of the fire making it's way through Greer. The fire did make it's way through Greer last night and we are all awaiting news of what homes where lost. I am hopeful ours is still standing.

update.


This is the family cabin. And the crazy arizona fire has spared Greer. Prayers for those in Springerville and Eager today.
Firefighters are amazing! Just last weekend Mike, Zoey, Felix and I were at Stoner Park and got to watch some Firefighters in training. They wrapped the fire hose through the jungle gym, and two firefighters had to work their way from one end to the other while bind folded using the hose as the guide.
It was hot, and it looked so exhausting. They had oxogen tanks on and they had to finish the course before running out of air. They ran out before the end. It gave me a new found respect for these people. They are truly risking their lives. I hope they are able to get the Wallow fire out soon, to spare homes, and the Beautiful Arizona Mountains.
