      Herriman "Machine Gun" Fire

      A few weeks ago I responded with the Red Cross here in Salt Lake City to the largest disaster I have responded to, the Herriman "Machine Gun" fire.  It was accidentally started by the  National Guard during a machine gun training exercise.  They thought they got the fire out, but a few hours later the winds kicked up and suddenly there were many homes in danger.  As usual, I learned a lot from the experience, there were more than 1200 homes evacuated and we opened a shelter.  Included are two photos that were passed along to me from that night, unfortunately I don't know the sources, but they are very cool so I thought I would share.

      I just saw some new Red Cross pictures from a fire last night come across my Facebook newsfeed, but when I went to look I also found this gem from a fire I recently responded to with Kris, the volunteer in this photo, and many others.  The kids were adorable, look at those faces!  I spent most of the evening making bathroom runs with the kids while the other volunteers filled out paperwork with the help of a translator- there are some things you just can't train people for and bathroom runs are one of them!  Pictures like this remind me why we do what we do- just in time for tonight's disaster services meetings :)
