That Little Place Called Paradise...


Well.... that little place we call paradise (Deer Hollow) is on high alert. A raging fire (Mill Flat Fire) burning in Utah near the sweet little town my parents call home, New Harmony. So far 8000+ acres, 3 homes and 11 structures have burned. My parents have been told to evacuate but they are not leaving until it is a complete lose, which for those of you that know anything about this place would be catastrophic. When I spoke to my mother this afternoon she said the helicopters are landing on their reservoir (photo above) every 30 minutes to fill up with water. Please keep them in your prayers!!
