This is a true story, the one I am about to tell you. Itâs a story about a fire, a large fire, one that engulfed the entire state of Kentucky. And I know what youâre thinking; how could a guy write about something like this if it really happened. Well, Iâll tell you. I am one of only a few survivors. I was there and I barely believe it. Hereâs my story. My name is Johnny Ponder. I love to read books, and I write some too. I donât have a television or even a radio. I never thought that those things were necessary; all I need are my books. I do get the city newspaper every week but I only read it for the funny papers. I do jog some to stay fit, and I have a farm of tomatoes, squash, green beans, carrots, and some other things. I grew an apple tree and a pear tree. So, thatâs enough about me, letâs get on to the real story. It was about 3 p.m. on August 17, 2007 when I got the newspaper. On the front page was in bold.
Massive Fire Broke Out In Kentucky Yesterday
If you havenât already seen this in the news or on the radio, a forest fire broke out in eastern Kentucky. It is spreading so fast that the fire fighters cannot put it out. It has grown at least 5 miles since it started. We are signaling a state of emergency address to the president. A state-wide evacuation has started. Continued on page A2
As soon as I read this I told my wife. She screamed and started to pack but I told her that the car was at the garage for an oil change and tire replace. We walked outside and sat on the front porch and I turned the news paper to the comics. I asked my wife what are we going to do about this and she said that she was going to think of something. It was quite warm outside although it was supposed to be in the fortyâs all week long. I told Courtney (my wife) that it was very warm outside. She said it was the fire and then we looked out and WE saw a huge red and orange fire blaze at us. She screamed and we ran inside, gathered our things, and went down to the basement. The house soon caught fire. We were down in the basement huddling in a corner with some metal surrounding us when I soon ran outside with a shovel and Courtney. I quickly dug a hole and we jumped in. With water we stayed in there for what I think is about three days. Suffering third degree burns we walked around until a rescue chopper found us and took us to a hospital in Tennessee. Were are now currently staying with are cousins.
