The threat of fire is so pervasive that a siren sounds and we all cringe, wondering if it’s in our part of town.

Today one of my co-workers came into my office and told me she thought there was a fire in my part of town. I was worried. My dog was home alone and I was 40 minutes away. I called the fire department to verify. Luckily, there wasn’t a fire. However, the dispatcher said that we are welcome to call anytime because people are worried and if it helps, call.

There were 4 fires in town today – and the one in Sedona still burns.

This fire, behind my office, was started by a man who wanted to cook some lunch. He started his lunch fire and then threw the match into a trash can – which promptly burst into flames, creating 2 different fires.

Everything is kindling right now. And we have to watch what we’re doing or we could burn down the whole town.
