Mable Rodabaugh has lived on her pasture for more than 3 decades, she's worried the whole thing, could go up in flames.
"It could catch on fire and we could lose everything."
Last night Mable took a shower and headed to the basement to watch some T.V. as usual when...
"My husband knocked on the door and I thought somebody was breaking in, and he said the pasture's on fire again."
Again, for the second time, smoke and flames filled the air just behind Mable's house.
"It was kinda going up hill, so it had moved about twice as fast."
If a neighbor hadn't reported the fire, Mable never would have seen it.
"The fire was contained to most of this area, but burned parts of this pasture, to a crisp. Mable considers herself lucky, as the house doesn't sit that far away."
The cause, is still undetermined, but there's one answer that comes to mind for Mable, fireworks...
"What fireworks did you say you found and picked up? Parachutes."
"That is something we're looking into. We are just out of the 4th of July there are some leftover fireworks that people are getting the chance to light off.
But it's not just fireworks that have people worried.
"Everybody right now is on the edge because of the dry conditions.
Which could spark a fire in an instant, and next time, Mable might not be so lucky.
"It could be drastic, it could be really bad, and yes it does worry me."
