1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: So I was thinking about this is as in bed 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: last night, as it took me many hours to get 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: to sleep, all the adrenaline going from having my house 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: almost burned down, and I was thinking about how the 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: good things in life generally occur fairly slowly and uh 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: and and happen in a planned fashion. They unfold that way, 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: and getting married, having kids, all those kind of things 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: that the impactful good things happened, vacations or whatever they are. 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: You see them coming, you plan for him. It's arigned 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: in that direction. Finally you get there. The really awful 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: things that happened in your life seemed to come out 12 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: of the blue and are often over in a couple 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: of seconds or minutes, and you spend the rest of 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: your life thing and what the hell was that? Or 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: I should have done this or whatever, and it you know, 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: horrifying accidents, crimes, all that sort of stuff. They unfold 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: so quickly. And we had that happened with a fire 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: on our property yesterday. We live on twenty acres and 19 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: we live in a part of the country where it's 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, incredible dry grass. We have basically the same 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: landscape as they did up in Paradise. California where you're 22 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: You heard about that town getting wiped out last year 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: and all those people dying, and um, and everybody's very 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: careful about it, and there are rules to follow and 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. But you know, you just 26 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: always assume it's gonna happen to somebody else. And we 27 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: don't know how this started. Um, still haven't figured that 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: out yet. But I'm laying in bed with Henry, my 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 1: youngest God, getting him to sleep. It's about seven thirty, 30 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: coming off a medical procedure the last couple of days. 31 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: He's on a lot of medicine. I'm hanging out with him, 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: and my son Sam comes in the room and starts 33 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: waving his arms and I said, ship, why I didn't 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: know what he when he needed? You know, the dog 35 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: is Pete on the floor or whatever. He's like waves 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: And I get up, get up quietly as Henry is 37 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: about to go to sleep and come out and he said, 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the fields on fire? Said the what the fields on fire? 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: So I go out the door and I see over 40 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of smoke over there on the 41 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: on the on the front of our field. Um. And uh, 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: but but you know, looking manage bullish, not good because 43 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, I've heard about how these things can spread 44 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: and whatnot, and it's windy, and you know this is 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a crisis, and uh, and I start jogging 46 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: toward it, kind of thinking, okay, what am I going 47 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: to do about this? Exactly? And I'm thinking about where 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: a hose bibbs and where hoses and what can I 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: turn on and off? And how big a deal is this? Exactly? 50 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: Another and I said, have you called the fire department? 51 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: And and Laura's on the phone right then, Yeah, I'm 52 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: on nine one right night. I've called the fire department 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: and sort of say okay. So I'm thinking, okay, I 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: need to and I start jogging over. Well, I could 55 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: get a hose. I turned. I remember I turned. I 56 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: think I said I could get that hose in that 57 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: hose and hook come together, maybe it would reach part. 58 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: And then when I turned back around, it's ten times 59 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: as big as it was twenty seconds ago. In that 60 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: amount of time, it was okay, this is full on. 61 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: Oh okay. So then I'm I realized, okay, the fire 62 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: department is going to be coming, and I'm thinking they 63 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: gotta get in some gates. And I jump in my 64 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: truck and I'm going down. I'm gonna open up gates 65 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: so they can get in the property somehow because they 66 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't know where to drive in. And uh. And by 67 00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: the time I get in my truck and I come 68 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: on the driveway, it's twice as big as it was 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: a minute ago. And it's just so much smoke everywhere, 70 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: and it's so hard to see and even have any 71 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: idea what's going on and how big the fire isn't 72 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: when I get around to the front of the property, 73 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: I get on the other side of the wind, I 74 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: can see how big it is and it's it is. 75 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: It is quite a large fire. Um it probably covers 76 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: a quarter of an acre at that point. And um uh. 77 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: I get around and the fire people start arriving, Thank God. 78 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: And I mean, this made all the difference in the world. 79 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: If I lived a couple of miles down the road, 80 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have a home. I live a couple 81 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: of golf shots away from a volunteer fire department, and 82 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: they got over there with trucks pretty damn fast. And 83 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: they are really good at what they do, so it 84 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: must be one of those volunteer places that staffed. I 85 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't I didn't nail down how that 86 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: even worked, because usually they usually they blow a whistle. 87 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: We hear the whistle all the time, and people come 88 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: driving in who are part of the volunteer fire apartment 89 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: and they go do their thing. I don't know if 90 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: there are people already there, or if they got that 91 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: there that fast. I don't have the idea. I know 92 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: one guy is a neighbor of ours, um that I 93 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: had never met before. He later said to my wife, 94 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, My wife said, I think it's the 95 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: place that's got the goats. We gotta get over there. 96 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: They got a lot of goats. Um But Laura had 97 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: run around and opened the gates for all the animals, 98 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: and um Uh was gathering up stuff. And I went 99 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: over and started to trying to deal with the fire 100 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. But but and it was moving so fast. 101 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: It was so loud, that was one thing I had. 102 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: It was surprising to me. It was just crushingly loud, 103 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: like you couldn't yell and be heard the fire. It 104 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: was just a and it moved so fast across the 105 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: field and got to this line of trees we've got 106 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: along our really long driveway and these green, well watered 107 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: trees just turned into bombs, just flame bombs. It's just 108 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: it was just it was like, how is this even happening? 109 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: And I thought, Laura's got to get out of here. 110 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I ran back toward the house and realized she already gone. 111 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: She had the kids and the dogs and a goat 112 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: in my suv and had already driven down the driveway. 113 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: I found out later through smoking flames because the flames 114 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: are going across our driveway and uh, and got out 115 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: of there, and the kids are screaming and they were 116 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: afraid I was gonna die because they didn't know where 117 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I was. But there was one point where I had 118 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: I had gotten a long hose over and I was 119 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: spraying on the field and the trees that were on fire, 120 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: trying to keep it across our driveway because I just 121 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: felt if it crosses our long driveway, it's we're We're doomed, 122 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: which turns out the fire department said, yeah, if it 123 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: had gotten across your driveway, I think it wouldn't have 124 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: stopped until it got to road. I'm not gonna give 125 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: the name, Like three properties down and a mile down, 126 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: he's I don't think we'd have stopped it until it 127 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: got down there if it had crossed your driveway. And 128 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: I'm standing out there at the hose and I'm just 129 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: trying to get closer and closer, and it's hot, I mean, 130 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: the flames are hot, and I can't breathe. And once 131 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: the winds turned and I got covered with smoke and 132 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: I kind of put my head down and I'm holding 133 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: the hose, and then I realized I can't breathe anymore 134 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: and I gotta get out, and I didn't know which 135 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: direction was out. Then I'm kind of stumbling around and 136 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: everything like that, and it's just black and I looked 137 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: down at my shoes are part of my tennis shoes 138 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: are melted, and I'm trying to figure out how to 139 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: get out of here. And then I just to stumble 140 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: far enough into and I'm coughing, and I got the 141 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: hose and everything like that. Well then this fire chief 142 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: vehicle comes comes flying down the driveway. He just comes 143 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: out of the smoke, which I later realized that was 144 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: probably the scariest thing that happened the whole night, the 145 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: most danger we had, because my wife drove blind down 146 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: the driveway in the smoke, and the fire chief told me, 147 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: he said, I just took a he just I took 148 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: he said, I took a flyer. I didn't know how 149 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: long your driveway was. Were was on the other side, 150 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: but I couldn't see anything. If they had at the 151 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: same time been going thirty five minur and hit head on, 152 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: that would have been that That was the biggest That 153 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: was the biggest opportunity for for disaster right there, I mean, 154 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: and and it was three minutes apart, maybe at most. 155 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know how long any of this took. 156 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: I think the whole thing lasted fifteen minutes, but it 157 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: seemed like a lifetime. But when I was in that 158 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: smoke with the hose, I had I've only had that 159 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: feeling a couple of times in my life where I 160 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: thought this might be it, this might be it, this 161 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: might actually be And I know that's what people think 162 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: before they die. If you've ever read The Perfect Storm, 163 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of people that survived drowning. Some 164 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: of them die and come back to life, and Jesus 165 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: like and uh and or think they're gonna die. And 166 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: that is what people think before they're gonna die. Wow, 167 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: this might actually be it? And then it is it. 168 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: People you know died That's what they were thinking before 169 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: they died. Anyway, I was thinking, this might actually be it, 170 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: This might actually be it. And then and then and 171 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: then when I got out of the smoke and was 172 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: able to to get enough air to breathe, and I 173 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: thought this might act. We might actually lose our place here. 174 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: This might actually happen here. Um uh and and and 175 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, and I was kind of at first, I 176 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: had a bit of a feeling of what do I grab? 177 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: What have I gotten? That? It's just there's no time 178 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: and what the hell difference doesn't make anyway? Um, But 179 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: I got the hose on the trees and stuff like that, 180 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: and I feel like with the hose, I will tell you, 181 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: if you ever one of these situations, a hose does 182 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot more good than I thought it would. I 183 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: was thinking, is this ridiculous? Is this gonna do any 184 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: good against this roaring fire? And it's just a regular 185 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: garden hose. It actually was making a dent, I could tell. 186 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: So it's worth it if you if you're ever in 187 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: that situation, it would have catching on fire. But no, 188 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: it's not worth dying over, but if you can safely 189 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: do that. But I think I kept it from spreading 190 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: that direction. And then the fire cruise with their big 191 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: trucks and tankers were coming from the other way, and 192 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: eventually they got on top of it and and and 193 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: got it out, and it kept popping up various places, 194 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: and we'd run around with hoses and try to put 195 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: it out. And I don't know how many vehicles there 196 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: were total total there at the end, eight ten vehicles, 197 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: thirty people, something like that. How much you burned total, 198 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: these folks, It was two acres, which you know, if 199 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: I heard on the news about fire, two acres, that's nothing. 200 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: Two acres. And the thing is it's on fire at once. Yes, 201 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: two acres on fire at once is a lot of 202 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: flame and a lot of heat and a tremendous amount 203 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: of smoke. Laura showed me a picture she took from 204 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: the fire station of our house, and I thought, holy cow, 205 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: that's what it looked like while I was inside it, 206 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and it was, you know, it's just if it had 207 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: been a windier day. And I told the fired guy, 208 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: I said, I think if we had gotten at this 209 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: ten minutes later, it had been over he said, oh yeah, 210 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: ten minutes later, there would have been no stopping it. Yeah, 211 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: it's just amazing stuff like that that happens in your life. Well, 212 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: growing exponentially, like you're describing, ten minutes is forever. I 213 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: was talking to the fire guy later. I said, I 214 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: do broadcasting for a living. I said, if there's anything 215 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: I could do where like I go give speeches to 216 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: homeowners or something like that, and explained to him like 217 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: I thought, I knew how fast fire moved, and know 218 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: what a big deal you have no idea. It goes 219 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: from it's a little fire over there in a corner too, 220 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: you can't control it in a blink of an eye, 221 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: and then it's you're gonna lose everything you've got in 222 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: ten minutes. Yeah, it's just it's amazing. And it was 223 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: a windy night, but nothing compared to the kind of 224 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: wind we often have. And there's another lucky thing. If 225 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: it had been one of those really windy nights, no 226 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: stopping it, no no freaking chance. And there were goats 227 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: running around, dogs running around, and I don't know what 228 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna do. I've got to ask you. Laura grabbed 229 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: the one goat, did the other goats resent that are 230 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: there going to be goat morale problems? Is the one 231 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: goat gonna be looked down upon by the other goats? Yeah, 232 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: and I think it was one of those. Here comes 233 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: the king of the goats, they'll say, is the one goat. 234 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: She didn't even know. She didn't even know what she 235 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: was doing at the time, just like throwing stuff in 236 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: the car. They saw a living thing and grabbed they 237 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: couldn't get ahold of the dogs. Dogs were running a 238 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: like crazy, and Sam tackled one of the pugs and 239 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: and they got and got it in the vehicle and 240 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: they're all screaming and crying. And I'm glad she took 241 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: the initiative to drive out when she did, because it 242 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: it it got so much worse so fast. I ran 243 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: back to the house and say, you've got to go now, 244 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: but she was already gone. Thank god. Um, I'll be damned. 245 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: That's something I can't imagine. I can't imagine what it 246 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: looks like if it if it gets bigger than that, 247 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: because it was. It was hellish, just hellish. It took 248 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: me so long to calm down from that. I can't 249 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: imagine near Mrs are so I've almost had motorcycle rex 250 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: before where I had to pull over and sit down 251 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: on the curb for a while to like gather myself 252 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: before I could drive on. And this was like one 253 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: of those. Well, and you went to sleep in the 254 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: very place where you know the craziness had happened, right, 255 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so yeah, that's man. You sleep with one 256 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: eye open, and both years I did, I had the 257 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: shades open, and I kept waking up looking out the 258 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: window to see if it started back up again. And 259 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: oh god, it was something. It was absolutely freaking crazy. 260 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: Those volunteer firefighters though they were, they were good at 261 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: what they did. And thank God for him. And I 262 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: don't know if I send him a fruit, booquet or 263 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: gift cards. I don't know what you're supposed to do 264 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: in that situation, but holy cow, without them might have 265 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: been doomed with I mean, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah, 266 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: that's noble work man, it's your firefighters. Oh yeah, yeah, Wow, 267 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Well glad everybody's all right? How still standing? Huh yeah?

Laura is not sure 271 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: what was in him. She's gonna have to check the 272 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: tracking wherever they're just gone. There's no evidence that they 273 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: ever existed. And I had a more parked over there, 274 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: like a string more. It's like a six hundred dollar 275 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: more or something like that, and it's just some of 276 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: the frame is there because those fires get so hot 277 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: this metal and it's metal. They get so hot when 278 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: the wind's bowing, and it's just it's just gone. I 279 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna make a claim on the 280 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: insurance or even try. I don't I don't know. I 281 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: haven't figured any of this out yet, right uh Like, 282 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: Like I kept telling the kids as we were going 283 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: to bed and try trying to calm down. You know, 284 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: everybody's fine. Everybody's fine, and that's that's fine. We buy 285 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: we get new stuff. If everything disappeared and burned down, 286 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: we'd get new stuff. Yeah, it'd take a while, but 287 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: everything the important things. Everybody's fine. Next family lecture on 288 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: fire safety, they'll have attentive listeners. Feel like yeah, no kid, yeah, yes, 289 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what. You have a giant tanker truck 290 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: parked on your property. It's excellent advice that might be 291 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: if you could afford it, good lord anyway, or just 292 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: live on rock. Nothing would rock. I don't know. I 293 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: don't know how long it'll take me to calm down 294 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: from this. Like my heart, I feel like it's still 295 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: my heart rate is still elevated from it. I did 296 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: so much running around a man at my age and 297 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: poor shape, running from here to there and getting another 298 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: hose and trying to get it together and stuff like that, 299 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: and I just I'm covered and smoken, my shoes are hot, 300 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: and he's, oh, it's freaking crazy. It's good you didn't 301 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: have a heart attack. Don't don't bother with a stress 302 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: test at the cardiologist. There's no need for one.
