The homeowner to the south of our property had a pile of debris burning today but unfortunately for him, the winds picked up and it quickly spread across the field. The fire spread to the west, crossing the property line.
At first the fire was headed southwest which was great but then the wind changed direction. You can see the blackened grass in the back of this photo showing where the fire burned initially. 
Not sure how they managed to save the cars, but they did. I was not the first person to call 911 and even then, the first firetruck on the scene was not a water truck, so even more land burned before a water truck arrived.
They ended up with four different water trucks on the scene before they stopped calling for more help.
Even though I knew the fire would not reach our property it was still a little scary to see how fast the field burned.
The ever diligent Toby watched as the firefighters hosed down the hot spots. That is enough excitement for me for the day.
