Sorry to hear about your predicament and good to hear that you are safe. We need to keep the families of those firefighters in our prayers. God Bless!

Just heard on the news. Fellow is saying that they are a form of sleeping bag. They jokingly call them "praying bags" as once you pull them over your head, you then pray. Good for 3 or 4 minutes but not protecting against 2500 degree air around the bag. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! TTC

...also called "Shake and Bakes"....I know of several that have lived and a couple that have not.Usually they suffocate

Smart move Terry with the RV. They are like lifeboats when you need them. I lived in my old 18' MH for about one year after my home burned and I was building a new one. I was reading about another fire out there. The fire fighters were caught when the wind shifted. They buried those bags and climbed in , they survived. They said the biggest problem was the fire consumes the oxygen in the area. Good luck buddy, Frank...

I was shocked to my core this morning when I learned this news. I know the wind was gusting all night long here in Flagstaff. A very sad day for all of us. Those guys have a damn dangerous job, and mother nature just can't be tamed. Those guys died trying to protect other people's houses and property... God bless them, and their families, and loved ones.

I feel numb. what a loss...
when you have breakfast an coffee in the same places...you notice the loss, even if you didn't know their names.

I am fine. So is Tim. Tnx all. Next time you see the guys and gals in the intersections with the fireboots.... THEN it's time to help! Terry

Terry,where did you go to. Just heard they are evacuating Kingman. This was at lunch today.
Must be a fire around there also.

Godspeed Terry and Tim! My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen and all who are affected by this wildfire.

There are three wildfires around Kingman, AZ. I drove past yesterday afternoon. Biggest appears to be on mountain SE of City. TTC

I went south to Wickenburg (I am in CA right now for two Dr's appointments). Tim is at Super8 in Wickenberg. TTC

Last word I had from one of the locals was that at least 25 residences that refused to leave perished (Glen Ilah) . Flames came to within 2 1/2 blocks of the RV Park. TTC

Tim got some good video footage to ABC... local channel is 15. Watch for it. TTC
