AZ fire Part 4

The fire has now burned 42 square miles or nearly 27,000 acres since it broke out on June 12. At least 44 homes had been lost before Sunday. Yesterday more homes were burnt but they have not yet released a count of damage for Sunday. At least 2 restaurants and a gas station have burned, but besides that I am unsure.

My parents have not been able to get to their property since Saturday morning. My Dad was going to try again today. He is also going to work today, so when he gets home I may be able to find out more information.

My Dad is currently at the house. All is ok except the power is out. The green house is 105 degrees. He is going to try to water to cool the turtles down some.

I just spoke with my Dad. The power is back on at the house so everything should be fine. He is hoping that they can go home tomorrow. The winds died down today so the fire fighters were able to make some progress.
