Eagle Mountain Dump Fire

 These picture were take from my driveway

So we had a fire here in Eagle Mountain about 2 weeks ago!  It was a little insane around here for about 3 days.  It started on a Thursday and they finally had it 100% contained by the following Tuesday.  It was so crazy to sit and watch the smoke move and turn from white smoke to black smoke, and then to see the flames out our bedroom window!  We were very fortunate that we weren't evacuated nor could we even smell the smoke where lived because we were sitting North East of the fire and the wind was blowing north west of us.
Clint and I were going to be gone all day saturday and we decided just to be safe in case we were to have to evacuate saturday and we weren't home that we would pack clothes and our valuables up and take them with us just to be safe in case something dramatic happened while we were gone. But all was well and we didn't have to be evacuated.
The following Tuesday I went to a park down in Saratoga Springs with a friend. Well little did I know all the fire fighters had set up camp in this park and when we got there they were just cleaning up camp and taking off to the next fire.  There was a guy that had a bunch of bags and wasn't able to grab all of them in one trip so I walked up to him and asked him if I could help him carry his stuff over to the truck.  I felt that was my way of saying Thank You for all they did for our city.  I know I wasn't really effected by the fire, but they helped so many of our fellow neighbors and friends I felt it was the least I could do to show my Thanks and respect for the hard work they did and are still doing.
We also have been trying to teach the kids the value of prayer and that our prayers can be answered and so with all the fires, we have been praying for rain, and for the firefighters, and just yesterday when the kids woke up and saw that is was raining they thought it was pretty exciting and cool that Heavenly Father does answer prayers!
