damn bro sorry to hear about your your step dads house, That sucks...My mom lives on neal also but the fire was still about 1/2 mile from her, guess your cuz's house made it though

[Thomas P]

yeah they really lucked out, i heard that their house burned down from an obviously unreliable source, and i was hella worried for them but i guess they kept the place watered down and it made it

I had to run a medical aid for a head injury on Neal right when the fire was coming through. It was really ugly in there. That kind of fire intensity is way too extreme for this early in the year.
