 Topic: burned outPosted: 17 Aug 2012 at 6:22pm |

Folks, this will be short and bitter, as on August, old Boogerowen was consumed by wildfire, along with about 400 other families in Creek County Okla, I lost all 6 of my tractors as well as everything I owned. The only things I was able to save was my guns that were in a safe designed to withstand 2500 degree's for 4 hours and my little travel trailer, and my older hunting pick-up truck.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Sorry to hear that Gordon. It might be kinda hard to think this way right now, but you can feel lucky you didn't get caught in it. It's gotta be tough though to get back to life when so much history is lost.

Though it seems like very little, at least you are still here and able to tell us. May God comfort you and give you support as you start through the next steps of returning to normal. Will continue praying for you. God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear that. Man that is a tough one. I hope and pray you had good insurance? Even though there is so much like photos and keep sakes that will never be replaced. Your message reminds us all of how fast things can be taken away and this life has dissapointments from time to time. Prayers for you and the 400 families.

Now that just sucks big time. We have families in the same situation out here in WA state. Material stuff can be replaced, but human life and animal loss is very sad. Glad you are able to post here.

Terrible, but happy you didn't get harmed. I have packed up for fire alerts in the past.
I was expecting this thread to be about someone tired of the desk job and was wanting to restore tractors instead. |

a few years ago our house burnt while I was at work, it was a total loss, the attick was laying in the basement. we lost a few pets, (my pets are like family) but atleast nobody was hurt. It sucks, it will be some thing that is unforgetable. I'm sorry to hear about your equip, but as stated above, atleast you and your family are safe. it will take some time, but soon things will get better.

Yes, we need an address. Guys if everyone on here could send him a small donation, I'm sure it would help. Any amount would help, even $5-$10-$20. I personaly think a small donation would help more than used clothing.ADDRESS PLEASE!!!!

It has been a very tragic time in our area. We are about 40 miles from the damage. We sent a few firefighters to the fire, but had to keep someone in town. We were under such sever conditions that all it would take is a spark and we would be just as bad off.
Everyone has pulled every resource they have to try and alleviate the impact. So far statewide a count of over 600 homes lost. 1 fatality. Oh, and not to get political, but marinas and rv parks are opening up and people are volunteering thier personal motorhomes, and campers to fthe victims to live in while figuring out the next step. Just like much of the rest of the county, we take care of our own and don't wait on FEMA. It just doesn't make the news. So far the investigation of the Manford fire is that it was started on Tribal land by either somone burning brush, or throwing cigarettes. Other fires in the state were set intentionally. JimD
