Aftermath of the Water Wheel Fire
What does one say about a fire that creeps too close to where you live, was probably caused by a careless use of fire and decimates the land for a generation? The people of Whispering Pines, Beaver Valley, and to a lesser extent, Mesa del and Geronimo Estates, will constantly be reminded of what happens to an area that everyone enjoyed but some abused. It's a scar on the mind as well as the landscape and will heal slowly, if at all, for some who live in these communities year around. When will we as a species, ever learn to care for our land, our home, our earth?
Michelle Ellenburg and her daughter Morgan waited for the all clear signal from DPS as they sat in their car in a long line of cars filled with Whispering Pines residents anxious to return home. To Buy This Image, contact: atowle@payson.com
