Still blazing

Not sure yet as it hasn't been 100% extinguished yet. If you ask my mother she'll claim "deep state" did it. Based on past fires it's been a combo of arson and power lines.

I saw a video made by a security camera in Texas that showed a green laser hitting the ground and then the fires started.
This seems exactly like what happened to Hawaii and Chile as they too reported seeing a green laser lights then fires.

Makes you wonder ❗

I'm curious on where this was taken? If it states it was in any of the affected places I can say it's a total farce.

I was wondering how you are holding up. Try to rest and eat. You’re of no use if you go down for the count. Easier said than done, I know.
I’m still praying for you and everyone else in the path of this monster.
Stay safe.

My pain level was very high and shut me down is why I didn't eat. Pain controls everything in my life. Tells me when I get to sleep, eat, work and stay up. I get oainsthat keep me awake for 48-63 hours. Then I'm so exhausted I sleep for 14 hours or more and I have to ask what day it is. 15 years of uncontrollable pain not counting the 6 before that were somewhat manageable.

From the sound of this you and your immediate family are safe and that is the most important thing. Praying for your extended family, friends and town as a whole.

I know the family as they have been here for probably a century. If so on cause of fire I will follow suit also!

I despise the litigiousness of our sue-happy society - but in this case, I feel it is in the proper context to try recouping some of ur losses, as well as holding the lax & greedy power companies feet to the flames, so to speak !! As they say in Canada, you got hosed, aye ?!?

Frivolous is 1 thing, but lazy on a company's part is another. What else was found out about that provider was they knew about problem poles and don't replace as needed (in some cases). When damage is done by 1 person/company and doesn't compensate those who it impacts, but is (if insured) paid by their insurance coverage.

I agree we are a litigious society and also agree that the use of insurance does limit the financial crippling affect of frivolous and of course legitimate lawsuits it also allows large corporations the ability to not be affected by accountability for their actions or lack of action as well. And then there is the use of multiple insurance companies that are used to cover when one gets maxed out in payments the second or third company takes over and again limits a company’s financial impact.
Basically to He$$ with the consumer.
 
An update on how the company wants to take care of those without insurance. Make a list of destroyed, damaged and other losses and submit it to them. There's no way they can dollar for dollar match loss due to uncreased prices of machinery and parts cost! The smaller tractor of close to same (within or close to same year model) build is costing 30+ thousand dollars more. The big 4x4 w/blade is around and extra 20k (with blade). I've searching for tractors without blades that could fit the same blade on the burned tractor. Knowing if the frame has same width measurements is helpful, but did find a newer (about 5 years newer) w/blade (different brand of tractor) and more hp that could work? For the "gearheads" I'll post a pic of the injection pump. If, it were cast instead of aluminum the pump would've been saved. I'll be VERY busy listing what was infected by the fire.

Did you have insurance?

What were the vegetative conditions like around your place before the fire?

The area was dry and minimal green vegetation (excluding evergreens) and very short. In the next few days while I'm out collecting info on damages I'll take some pics of the area and post. I'm waiting for a clear and mostly sunny day to get good pics. People (not sure who) on facebook (I'm not on that social media) have posted some pics of the area.
