Yeah, um, let's see. Well, this was last Friday. So this was a week ago. Um, my wife and I lived in this house out in the country, um, in the, I'll just say in the central U.S. Um, and, uh, well, a wildfire came through. Um, I was out of town, which made it worse.

I was with some guys from church and a,

I was supposed to be at a men's retreat for a church and the next stayed over like five hours away.

So I was out there.

Wildfire came through.

Yeah.

And, um, my wife, I started getting calls for my wife on the way out there. Um, she said, you know, there's, I'm starting to see a lot of smoke. Like, I'm, I'm getting a little bit nervous. It's not super bad yet. So I told her, excuse me. Um, so I told her, you know, just keep an eye on it. I'll keep an eye on the emergency, emergency alerts and stuff like that online. I didn't see anything

immediately in our area, so I thought at first it was like, you know, smoke from other fires

around us that wasn't immediately next to us because that can happen.

So then a couple hours later I get another call from her saying the smoke's getting worse.

I'm getting really nervous now. I don't feel like it's safe here. So I said, you know,

go ahead and, you know, if you don't feel safe there, get out, you know, go to your mom's.

Her mom lives in, uh, in the city, like an hour away from us.

We're out in the country or we were. Um, so she got out. And then, so later that night, um, I started getting calls from my neighbors saying it burned your chicken coop.

It's up next to your house, like getting in the door.

Like one of them was trying to fight the fire.

Both of them were actually over there at different times trying to fight the fire.

And yeah, I was getting calls from my neighbors just giving me up. actually over there at different times trying to fight the fire. And, um,

yeah,

I was getting calls from my neighbors just,

you know,

giving me updates on the situation.
