Into the Fire

It is an understatement to say that Central Texas has been devastated by fires this week.  At this moment, a fire in Bastrop County (east of Austin) has consumed nearly 30,000 acres and 500 homes, and remains zero percent contained by heroic firefighters from all across the region.  A fire destroyed dozens of homes in the Northwest Austin neighborhood of Steiner Ranch. Multiple fires are reported north of Austin and in Dripping Springs (south of Austin).  It seems like fire is everywhere around us at the moment; there are literally scorched areas all along the highway as close as a quarter mile from my house...
