While fire was miles away father went to town to get a trailer to evacuate Family and possessions. Fire moved fast and mother, son, dog and mother’s mother tried to drive out. Fire caught them on the road and vehicle stalled or couldn't move due to melted tires. Mother sent boy and dog to run for it, had to leave her mother as she was too disabled to run.
Father found mother on road after she escaped flames but did not recognize her because she was burned all over.
Boy was later found in driver’s seat with dog on his lap, grandmother in backseat. He apparently went back to try to save her and drive them out.
There is a lot of calamity in the world but this is the saddest story I’ve read in awhile. God bless them and save them all.
