We had a lively evening last night (see our house in the picture above).  A brush fire in the preserve behind our home came very very close.  But the amazing response from all of the fire departments in Brevard County saved every home that was threatened.  An amazing job by these guys with special thanks to the Titusville unit who setup in our yard.  The strategy is apparently to let it burn all it wants to burn, but stop it short of the house.  The less fuel left means less work later. 

It was also an amazing night out to connect with neighbors and show support for each other.  I got to talk with atleast 20 of my neighbors at various times throughout the night.  An incredible example of community.
