Back in the saddle again

So we were lucky, very, very lucky. The fire burned down to our driveway, very close to the house and stopped there.
I say stopped, but more truthfully it was halted by the firefighters. We happen to leave right on a spring fed creek and the fighters were using our driveway to refuel the tankers. Convenient for us, no?
So all we have to deal with is spoiled food in the fridge, and not quite reliable electricity. The fire is still far from out though. All night evening and through the night we hear tanker refueling, helicopters flying overhead and fire trucks driving past the house to the section that is still burning. Not the most restful night I've ever had, but I'm not complaining.
Time to get back to work.
