A Forest Fire, and other updates...

Hello everyone!  It's been a long while since I last posted but anyway I'll start off with what has been going on.  On thursday while we were burning brush outside, I was carrying a shovel full of flaming coals to help start one of the piles on fire, while I was walking down a hill, a couple of the coals fell off of the shovel and into some leaves near the forest.  A while later we noticed it and that a fire had been started by the coals, my dad said for us to quickly put it out, and while we were trying to stop the fire from spreading, a huge gust of wind picked up some of the flames and carried them deeper into the woods!  We quickly tried to gather some tools and stuff to help put out the fire, also my mom ran inside to look for the fire extinguisher, but she couldn't find it anywhere!  By then the fire had gotten really deep and was getting out of hand.  My dad quickly called the Fire Department while we still tried to do all we could to put the fire out. Finally, we all started gathering bucket fulls of water, and thank the Lord for those and all of us working together, because we were able to hold the fire off long enough in time for the Fire Department to come and help.  The fire continued to get deeper into the forest, but just before it crossed a path into another part of the forest that was packed full of deadwood, we were able to put the fire out.  Praise the Lord!!!  It was a close call, but nobody got hurt, thank the Lord.  Anyway, today on the seventh of March we succesfully burned another pile of brush and now I'm pretty tired, and if you asked me how I feel right now, I'd have to say I'm firelogged.  Well, until next time, God Bless!
