We were having a nice relaxing day. John was actually feeling pretty good after a week or more of PTSD downward spiral.
He wanted a BBQ in the fire pit so went out and bought everything to make these awesome burgers. Once they were done he brought them in.
Next moment we get a knock on the back door. It is our neighbor letting us know we have a little grass fire… well it quickly went bigger due to the wind.
They have a back hoe at their place right now and so thankfully they brought it up and put a fire line before it got to the barn. Our other neighbor came and everybody (but me) contributed to it being under control by the time the fire dept arrived.
They soaked it and let us know that we will not receive a fine because it was a fire pit and it was not started by negligence.
I am so thankful that it did not go towards the house. It was stopped before it got to the barn and took off on the back hill. It was stopped before it affected anyone else’s property.
Now I am thinking of thankyou gifts…
John is in another spiral and I am not sure if I am able to help him. All I can do is tell him we were lucky it happened when it did. If the neighbors weren’t outside and using the back hoe we would have been in such a disaster.
