In March, the Morril fire ravaged over 6,000 acres of Nebraska Sandhills, including the Circle L Ranch owned by Naomi Loomis and her family. Loomis recounted the day's events, detailing how her husband and sons fought the fire while she and their children helped neighbors and tried to save their own property. Despite the chaos, their faith and community support were crucial. The fire destroyed trees, corrals, and hay, but spared their house and barns. She emphasized the resilience of their family and the community's role in the aftermath, which will be further discussed in part two of the interview.
