The Bristers (our year-round neighbors) sent this picture of a little fire yesterday. They took it from their porch and apparently it’s about 1.2 miles from our house. They reported it and also contacted everyone in the neighborhood.
Beate and Tim have also been watching it through their telescope and said it was just one tree that broke and the top was burning on the ground. I‘m assuming it was from a lightning strike and won’t spread, that we are in no danger. Fingers crossed.

Fingers x-ed – hopefully by now, it’s been “put out”
Andy needed binoculars to see the smoke today. The fire hasn’t spread.
Scary!
It’s all right, it hasn’t spread.
Let’s hope the little fire stays really tiny and extinguishes itself out. Stay safe.

seems like a lot of blue sky for lightning?
I hope it’s out now too!

Not good. All digits crossed!

prayers it was just one and is now out and all is safe. i see by the comment above it did not spread. for that i am thankful, while fire season rages for the west we await hurricanes and storms. prayers for this to be a safe season.
Yes. Prayers all around, we’ll need them.
That would be scary to spot so close to home. I hope it’s out soon without spreading at all.
Thanks. Apparently it’s not going to spread.
Hope all is right with the world now!! And that no winds come up before the embers die out.
As long as the wind doesn’t come up it should be fine. We do have a couple of fires a lot farther away…one caused by lightning, another by an illegal campfire which was abandoned when the campers left.
