Parvati remembers one of the largest fires that swept through her small community in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. IT was a year when mother nature delivered very little precipitation to the foothill areas and this set the stage for forest fires that year.
According to Parvati, it was a County vehicle that started the fire. Once started, winds accelerated the spreading of the fire and made the situation even worse.
The experience of this fire was a reminder that people are more important than things and right actions bring victory.
Parvati found out first hand that patience and wisdom with an attitude of never giving up was the set of ingredients that helped her small community in the Sierras recovery from such a devastating fire.
