Unfortunately, our area has had several fires in the past few months. Now there is one burning in the woods behind Taylors Creek Elementary, the school where I teach. It has been burning for over a week now, and it is very smokey, even inside the building. We weren't able to go outside for recess because of it all last week. This is a picture from Friday evening. There were two fire trucks on our playground spraying the woods, along with a bulldozer that was cutting more fire lanes in the woods. When I drove by, several vehicles had pulled onto the front lawn, watching everything happen.
This is a picture from right outside my neighborhood. That dark smoke cloud is coming from right behind TCE. Scary! I heard that it is supposed to rain in the next few days. It's safe to say that we could definitely use it!
