"You know, for us, it’s tough. You know, we lost a lot of, you know, holiday stuff, Christmas, you know, obviously decorations, we don’t have anything for Christmas. we lost, you know, kids stuff, tools. But you know, fortunate that’s just a garage that we can rebuild, and tools we can replace. Yeah, it’s devastating coming back to the neighborhood because I heard we lost 40 homes. It’s tough being two of the homes survived are ours, you know, and seeing a lot of good neighbors and good friends not have homes anymore. That’s the toughest part, honestly. It hurts inside because I know there for a while we didn’t think we had home to come home to as well. And we’re just over the moon that we have a place to sleep at night.”

"You know, the small community we have up here, we hear about them, especially during fire season they are every – it almost seems every other week or at least once a month, and you almost get callous to them, you know, like the fire the fire department gets callous to them, you know, But this one just came so fast. I don’t think, I don’t think anybody was prepared to move as fast as they did come, which, you know, unfortunately led a lot of people to leave their belongings behind and get out with what they could. Like, for us, it was tough. We left our pigs behind and our chickens and turkeys, and we’re just glad that they made it. You know, we’re really, we’re really fortunate."
