Was just woken at 11:30 our mountain is burning and has gotten worse.

Its right down the road and blowing toward our location but has to travel at least a mile to get to Danielsville.

I went to see what the danger is. In our little town we are on the other side of the road along the mountain so I should be out of danger. Its the farms that worry me. Noticed the wind is picking up.

While driving I saw Deer and a Bear running across the roads. Lots of smoke outside I am sure the Coyotes and big cats will be coming down tomorrow.

I never saw so much fire equipment and young volunteers. We were told to clear all flammable debri around our buildings such as leaves. Due to the terrain they cannot reach most of the fire by foot . Air support will start in the morning if the wind allows.

I do not see any danger for my place but in such a small community we are all like family. I pray for all the animals. Yesterday we had several bush fires in the other direction. Fire fighters are exhausted. Many are coming in from all over surrounding counties.
