Refugee Status
The Fish Creek Complex Wildfire blew up on Tuesday and made a run towards Petty Creek, the area I live in. They said at the community meeting that it burned 7000 acres in 5 hours. It is burning in the West Fork of Petty Creek which is the second drainage north of me. They evacuated all of Petty Creek Wednesday morning so my dogs and I have been living out of my pickup since then. Now it's raining - they predicted thunderstorms but said it wouldn't be enough rain to put the fire out. Well it is certainly enough rain to make living in a pickup truck with two 100 lb. dogs pretty miserable.

Life never stops throwing curves at ya...

2. So you're hanging in there
I PM'd a bit ago, I hadn't checked my inbox in a while. I really don't know what to say, just hopefully they were able to get your home foamed down a bit and save it. I'm sure you had it cleared good so that will give it a really good chance.

And what are you doing in your truck? Is there no place for your dogs or somebody who will take you in? It's not my business, but geez, you shouldn't have to live in your truck all weekend!

3. you and your pups (big pups)
are in my thoughts tonight. Keep us posted. I second SnS's hopes that if your digs caught any damage it was the fire prevention rather than the fire - and that all is salvagable.

Hang in there...
