Re: New Fire in SoWal -- Sommerset Beach - Seagrove

praying for you guys!!! I hope the cause for all these fires is found out. Do you guys have a burn ban? we do frequently, and it would be against the law here do drop a cig butt.

We are flooding here, wish I could send home w/ yall.
 
Re: New Fire in SoWal -- Sommerset Beach - Seagrove

Yes, there is a burn ban in place.

F.Y.I. Seagrove Highlands is o.k. The fire dept. is using the parking lot as a staging area.
 
Re: New Fire in SoWal -- Sommerset Beach - Seagrove

Maybe they are gaining on it...

I just went upstairs to look that way and there's about 1/2 the smoke as earlier.

I'm afraid there might have been some houses earlier. There was black smoke along with the light-colored typical vegetation smoke.

I was over by Tom Thumb right after the fire started and spoke to a couple of guys that are staying near by..said there was a loud explosion and then all hell broke lose...
Abe Drinkin said he heard that explosion and then a plum of white smoke eruptiong and all hell broke out. He said he saw a big natural gas access near the fire in that same area where the boom went off, and thinks it might ignited.

Please God protect our beautiful Sowal, family and friends. Keep them safe, and our of harms way. Give the firefighters energy and strength to fight the fires and keep them contained.
In your name we pray, Amen

I've been reading all these threads with great sadness. Hope this situation/conditions improve soon!! I'll be thinking of all you owners and saying my prayers for you. SJ, that is so nice of you to offer to check on places.
 
Re: New Fire in SoWal -- Sommerset Beach - Seagrove

OK - as soon as SJ leaves to pump up my bike tires, I'm heading out with Bubba, Mikie and Catfish (Mayor of Seagrove) and all the PINk ingredients in my bicycle basket - think it will fit?

Sure - you do realize this is a "bicycle basket" we are talking about here - I'll have all kinds of arms, legs and paws coming out of the sides!!!
