Our forest. Our ranches. Our homes. Our wildlife. Our ecosystem. The destruction is devastating at best. This assignment was earth shattering and eye opening. My family and I had to evacuate from this fire at the beginning of the month. We’re back home and safe. But some weren’t so fortunate. Trees are still smoldering. Wildland firefighters are working hard. This fire has been wreaking havoc for weeks on end. I’m so tired of hearing the phrase “this is unprecedented.”
