Wednesday afternoon was REALLY A HOT ONE!!!! East of Preston a fire started in a field and really took off. The hot winds were blowing to the north. Our home was south of the fire, so we were not in any danger. But the flames burned bright orange and high in the gusty wind.
Several homes and out buildings were in danger. Moonridge Farms has a large horse barn with horses and other animals. Wendy Hanger of Moonridge Farms said that the fire came within 30 feet of their house and propane tank. Thanks to the fire department, family, friends, and neighbors, property and animal life were spared. |
