The gentleman that we care for 24/7, his father is a firefighter for the
City of Roanoke. He told us that fires will double in size every 3 minutes.
Our brush with fire was caused by a neighbor's faulty outdoor wood burning
stove that had been worked on earlier that day. My husband took a walk and
followed the smoke to see a line of fire in the woods that looked similar to
a controlled burn. 90 minutes later 30 acres had burned.
