Seeing a wildfire in a near
by field while at recess.

I was deathly afraid of fires
as a small child. The fear makes
the memory very vivd.

The field is not as close
to the school in real life
as it was in my memory.

The call to the school was not
to evacuate, but to make
the teachers aware of the
situation.

Wild fire smoke reminds
me of the fire in the field

When I see the school now, the
first thing I remember is that fire.

I had a grape kool-aide pouch
with lunch and was still
drinking it when I went
out to recess. That taste reminds
me of the fire.

The memory is of an
event that had a big
impact on me as a child.
