We were working out in the yard and I could smell an electrical fire smell. We thought it was the neighbors garage to the south. We starting walking to the front yard and the neighbors house to the north was engulfed in flames.
No one was hurt, but the house it a total loss. They lost everything except the clothes they were wearing! I feel so bad for them. All we could think about was getting our horses loaded, getting the dogs in the vehicles and figuring out how to get the vehicles a safe distance away. We were downwind, so we got a ton of smoke.
Fortunately the fire department arrived and contained the fire, but it seemed like it took them forever to arrive. Seconds seem like minutes as you watch a house go up in flames.
It certainly does put life in perspective as it can all be taken away from you within seconds.
