The wildfire called the Spring Fire devastated the forest in and around the town of La Veta, Colorado. Ricky shares his experience in a chat with Alex with still images and video footage taken during the roller coaster ride of emotions that ensued over several days.
Ricky writes,
"This video is dedicated to Justin Shults who was the real hero protecting the priceless quilts and art, our company computers and files, and making sure the dogs were safe. He had to bear the work alone and he deserves a medal for determination and not giving into pressure. He texted, "I got this! This is what I do."
Ricky also wants to thank everyone who sent their love and support throughout this difficult situation.
On Monday, we will be sharing a timeline of the Spring Fire 2018 as told through Ricky and Justin's Text Messages and Photos. We will also be sharing a video that Ricky created of his first drive into the Yellowstone Creek Ranch fire zone going to Autumn Rock. It includes music he just recently composed and recorded in his new studio.

All my prayers for you and the rest of Colorado.
Living in San Diego, I too have had the fire come to the edge of our property and miraculously, our log home was spared through the hard work of our firefighters and crew! We have had to evacuate several times in several years...I know the uncertainty, anguish, and gratefulness that accompanies every fire on the horizon. Each year my nose is a great announcer of fires in the area. My heart goes out to those who have suffered such great loss in this fire and to those of you who are moving forward in that vast landscape to the next chapter in your book. Prayers are being said.
