Wild Fire

Lyndon is a volunteer firefighter on the local Rural Fire Department. Last week, he got a page for a fire right outside of town. The people that called it in said they were burning a burn barrel that caught some brush on fire right next to their house. The fire ended up burning 600 acres of land. The firefighters were able to save all the homes in the area.

Lyndon has had some issues with his foot lately, so he called and asked if I could bring him some Tylenol and his ankle braces. My mom, grandma, and I drove up to the fire. We sat and watched them work on the fire for a while. It was pretty intense.

Here is Alden in his fire helmet, just like his daddy right before we left to go to the fire.
