Got a fire story to tell? Tell it here!
From Heather…. We live in butte valley on top of the ridge(old stage road)The fire fighters cut a fire break but were then ordered to leave; my father stayed.With the fire burning on all sides he fought the flames with a garden hose through the night and is still there(9am) putting out fires. Our neighbors house burned about 5am. Because of the position of our home it would have certainly burned if it had not been for my fathers heroic and insane efforts.
