A sad day in Idaho ..

[momta]

43. In 2016 our neighborhood suffered a horrible fire because of a couple of...

"selfish jerks and their campfire".

We were evacuated for a week, and I was convinced that we would have no home to come back to. We watched the flames draw within a few hundred yards of our house as we drove away.

The firefighters were amazing, heroic, incredible...there aren't enough superlatives to describe them.

Eight homes (though not ours, thankfully) were lost, and at least one beloved family dog that was home when his mom and dad, both volunteers, were fighting the fire that took him along with their home and all of their belongings.

The two selfish jerks had been camping illegally on private property. They left their campfire unattended in the hot, dry wind. Absolute morons.

Thank you for your years of service, Bo Zarts. You are most appreciated, as are the two pilots who were so tragically taken.
