I know how scary this can be. Three years ago we had a huge forest fire that came within 10 miles of us, so much further than for you. It was close enough. That fire consumed 65,000 acres, or an area 16 miles wide and 20 miles long. Over 1,600 homes were destroyed. We had gone to a bigger town to grocery shop, and by the time I came out, the fire had crossed the highway we had just come into town on, and we couldn't get home without going miles out of the way, which we did.

Lisa I have been following this on the news. (BBC has the best reporting here) How awful for you, please stay safe and I'm sure you'll stay aware of alerts. Prayers for all in your country who have experienced such devasting losses and for the safety of all.
