Herriman Fire

My Dad and Tami are staying with us right now, over 1200 homes have been evacuated. They live at the foot of a mountain in Herriman. The mountain is engulfed in flames. A few homes have burned and we are glued to the TV. We move from the TV to the window and watch the fire as it comes down the mountain. This experience makes me think how quick life can change in just a day or even minuets. It makes me think about what is truly important in life, family, church, friends, ect.

Update: Only 3 homes burned in the fire. Our firefighters did a great job and saved my Dad's home along with several others from burning. The first picture is of how close the fire got to my Dad's backyard. The firefighters had a backhoe come in and create a firebreak, which saved my Dad's house

This is a picture taken from my house looking toward the mountain that my Dad lives near. Throughout the night we watched the fire creep across the mountain not knowing if his house was burning or not. What a crazy sleepless night.
