We however didn't get interviewed. On a side note, don't get between a man and his family when smoke and fire are all around the cabin they are in.

Glad you guys are safe, that one cabin up the hill looked like they were in trouble.

Just saw that headline a little while ago. Glad you're safe. Any idea what started it?

I have a brother close to Maryville he said it was some kind of controlled brushfire that got away. He is safe, Just got off the phone with him.

With as much rain as we've had I'm a little surprised the fire is able to spread like that.

They were clearing land next to my cabin that day. My mother-in-law said a guy ran up to the cabin asking for a fire extinguisher. She gave him one and he ran off. I don't know if they started it or not.

Glad y'all are safe.

It doesn't take much for the top layer to dry out.
