My heart goes out to ya rockherder, in 2014 I lost everything I had and barely almost perished myself, I didn't get my dog though heard him screaming tried like hell to get him but it's impossible the smoke is so black you can't see your nose in front of your face. For all those who think a sprinkler system will work for communities, to I don't mean to sound like an jerk, but you don't understand what a fire is when it gets going, green burns just fine and water only does so much. Rockherder I know what shock your in its a life changer never will it be the same I only had the clothes on my back (not shoes) so I learned a lesson from it that everyone should before something this horrible happens. I learned everything in this life is fleeting and has no mass all the things we go after in this life is like trying to grasp air, just when you've got anything, it slips right through your fingers, you have only one possession and that I is your being so Instead of worries of vanities like clothes etc i concern myself with knowledge and making myself a better human being, no fire or man on Earth can take your being. I hope you gain from this loss so as not to say total loss. I hope your I haven't rambled on too long. (Sorrowful face)
