On Sunday night as we were driving home we noticed the mountain right in the backyard of our home was just glowing with fire. As we got closer to home we could actually see the flames and smell the smoke. It was scary not knowing what would happen. They evacuated over1200 homes in the area. We were only a few blocks away from the nearest evacuation point. Luckily we never had to evacuate. What a crazy night. We were outside in the backyard with our neighbors just watching the fire burn until 1:00 in the morning. Amazingly, only 3 homes were destroyed. I thought it would have been much more. The firefighters did an awesome job! These pictures were taken right from our backyard...
Dallin took this footage from the front yard of our backyard neighbors. We thought this home would have been destroyed for sure. Luckily the fire fighters showed up just in time and saved it.
I took this footage from our backyard right when we got home so the fire looked a lot worse later into the night, but I wanted to post it because if you listen carefully you can hear Makenna narrating and she was just cracking me up.

Trisha I am so glad you guys didn't have to evacuate. We wondered. That is amazing that it only got 3 homes. But still..
That's so crazy, I'm glad you guys and your house was ok. I started watching the video and Lincoln ran over and asked what it was. I told him it was a fire by Makena's house. He watched for a few more seconds and said "Mommy, I'm so worried"-I explained it was ok, but I thought it was very sweet that he was so worried about his friend. :)
That night was so BEYOND SURREAL, got no sleep whatsoever, but like everyone else got some awesome pictures. I am truly in awe that the big house is still standing. CRA Z!
