Slide Fire: Our Return Home

Happy to be home and happy to find our cabin safe and sound! Close call. Burnt embers found in the piles of leave just outside the cabin.
The Red Cross and FEMA were set up in town to help those returning. They had first aid, cleaning kits, bins of food and lunch ready. Stores and restaurants had no supplies, so the Red Cross lunch was the only food available for many people.
Jarod enjoying some Red Cross mac & cheese, served with a plain hamburger bum. Mmmm. Really, it was pretty good and we couldn't complain. It was so nice to be home and to see the residents return.
The burnt hillsides near our house.
