Yep. This is about as exciting as a Friday Night in Payson gets. . . a Fire on the mountain. I swear the whole town & surrounding towns were parked everywhere for the "fireworks" show.
Everyone was gathered around Spring Lake to watch the helicopters dip their buckets in and then fly off to drop the water on the fire. (Better than a movie. ? ? )
All the news stations were there and the kids thought for sure we were going to be on the news.
Then they wanted to spend the night at Grandma & Grandpa's because they thought it might spread to our house while we were sleeping. Clint kindly explained that the whole city of Payson would have to burn down before it would reach our house.
You can see where the fire started on the right side of the mountain and then jumped over the canyon and started burning on the left.
