The Last Neighborhood Fire of the Summer

The last fire in the neighborhood happened on August 17th towards 8:30.  We had had a storm come through and while we were eating some lightning struck not too far away, in fact, a mile away.  A little later we got a call from my sister who was down at the Mark Park. There was a fire on top of the hill and they had called it in.  When there is a fire close by of course you have to go out and look.
 The smoke was just starting.
 First firefighters on scene.



 More firefighters coming.



 One of the times the fire flared up high enough for us to see was when it hit the fence line.
This truck and one other zoomed past on their way to what we assumed was another fire.  There were fires reported east of us where the storm headed.
