Freebird,
Thank you for updating. I checked with my grandmother and it turns out her renter was burning some garbage and it got out of control. Fortunately, there was no structure damage to the house and no injuries. I can't imagine why anyone would be burning anything during a hot windy day. We haven't had rain for how long now?
Anyway, everyone is safe and I would like to send a bid THANK YOU to the fire dept. for responding.
