The Dollar Ridge Fire

A Big Thank You to the Volunteers,
Red Cross, Fire Fighters, and 
First Responders that truly "Rocks"!

The Dollar Ridge Fire has been burning since July 1, and is impacting people in my community. My own town is not in danger, which is good, but other people have been evacuated from their homes, and there have been many structures burned because of the fire. The Duchesne County Sheriff's Office, Fire Fighters battling the blaze, The Red Cross and so many people have been great, and the community has been so kind as people have generously donated food, tents, flashlights, batteries, and countless other important and necessary things to the people who have been evacuated from their homes because of the fire.

As of today, the fire is not spreading east, which is good news. But it has still moved some toward the west, which may impact structures and property near Strawberry Reservoir.

One good thing that has come out of this fire, is that I have learned I live in a very kind, and generous community. Bad things happen in the world, but there are still good people out there who are glad to step forward and help their neighbors where they can.
