A little too close

These were taken last Monday just after we had moved into our new house. I looked out the sliding glass door in the dining room and saw this fire. It was a wild fire about 200 feet from our house. (There is an open field just over the fence where there's a farm and an empty lot with lots of dry brush.) Anyway, it has been very hot since last weekend.
I decided to call 911 because I didn't see or hear any fire trucks headed this way. It had already been reported but we didn't hear the sirens until a few minutes after that. I prayed right then. We thought that if the winds had changed direction then our house and neighbors' houses would be in danger.

About an hour later, the firemen had the blaze put out but they stayed out there for quite some time, drenching the ground to make sure that it wouldn't start up again. We are so thankful that they responded so quickly.
