Route 66 aficionado Mark Potter traveled to the Texas Panhandle area after the wildfires dissipated. The photo above showed how close the fires came to the red-tile-roofed Kiser’s 66 Super Service station on old Route 66 near Alanreed.
The lower photo shows how close the fire came to Delbert and Ruth Trew’s ranch home. They stayed behind to fight the fire, and it probably was good they did.
