The mountain is now at the mercy of the winds until morning. Pilots can’t fight the fires at night, which means no more retardant until morning. My parents just got permission to move the horses from their barn and take them to another location. Let’s hope this fourth of July doesn’t turn out to be a disastrous one for my parents or any of the other Alpine families that are in danger of losing their homes tonight.
If you enlarge the image, you can see yet another clear night with starry skies above.

PS. You can view more photos of this fire by visiting my personal Facebook page (different than my SDL page) where I’ve posted them all and made them public.
have they evacuated yet? :(
Dan, if you get the chance to return, put a sprinkler on the roof and let it run. It kept many houses safe during the big fires up north a few years ago. Don't bother if you've already evacuated. Your safety is more important. Best wishes for you and your family over night and on Independance Day.
Hope everyone will be safe!! :( Fires are scary... but don't worry too much!
Wishing we could send you our Seattle rain today - prayers!
Positive vibes their way sir.
I just saw your parents... they brought their horses to my place.... re-run of years ago..... :(

It sucks so bad! My parents home was originally threatened by one fire. The fire changed directions and instead threatened and burned many more. These fires are horrible and scary. I continue to pray for everyone
Only half of what I just wrote posted-- thinking about your family!

You're family us in my thoughts Dan.they are amazing people and do great things for others. I wish there was more I could do for them and everyone affected by these fires.
You and your family are in my thoughts. So very sorry you have to experience this. Many blessings to you all.
My folks had to evac 2 days ago from the ranch. Fire has probably taken the house already...if not then tomorrow for sure. Was only 3 miles away. I feel for you...and anyone else in this hell.

My prayers are with those affected by all these fires.
Praying they stay safe
Ugh I'm so sorry. My aunts house was soooo close to the Herriman fire last week. This is an awful summer in Utah. I'm actually really scared for what tomorrow brings...I wish fireworks had been banned altogether.
sorry to hear they are so close to the nightmarish fires. keeping them AND you in my thoughts.
don't like the post, but prayers for all those in harms way..Safety and speedy containment to all the firefighters ...
My prayers are with your folks and everyone else in the same danger tonight.
Hang in there. Sending my best thoughts.
Having lived through a rural-urban interface fire, I know the fear and anxiety. Sending thoughts of love and protection.
Very scary! You'll all be in my thoughts. Peace and hugs.
Keeping a good thought for your parents and so many others who may be in harms way.
Hope all will be safe. Horrible fire season here in CO too.
That is scary. I'll pray for your parents. Peace be with you and yours.
Prayers for you, your family and all others that may be affected by this fire.
I'm so sorry. My own parents home was in danger last summer. They were forced to evac for a week. Sending love and light in waves of protection to your family.
As long as your parents are safe, really thats what matters most.
I hope it rains soon! Doesn't look likely, but I still hope it does for your parent's sake.
I'll start praying for rain and for their safety. *hugs*
Dan, I am keeping you, your parents, and your whole family in my thoughts and prayers tonight and until this fire is done
Wow Dan! Super scary. Sending prayers your way
Amen
Prayers go out to you, your parents and the horses.
Praying for you!!!
