Residents in the Globe and Miami area have been through a lot, as the Telegraph Fire has burned along the city limits.
As crews continue to battle the fire, many families have been evacuated, which can be really hard on children. Imagine being told to leave your home at the age of three, four or five and not knowing if you’ll see it again. You’d be pretty thankful if it was saved, but how do you show that appreciation at such a young age?
"Hello fire department. I just want to say how much you mean to me," said Larry Bickel, an information officer for the Telegraph Fire, as he read a piece of mail he received. "Without you guys we would not be able to get the fires out."
The fire is still tearing through the terrain south of Globe and Miami, but only a handful of buildings have been lost, thanks to the work of rerouting the massive blaze.
