Ethan charged toward the barn.

He hated leaving Audra, but she was right. She could handle whatever happened back there.

He raced into the barn and climbed straight up to the burning loft. Hay blazed in front of him, but it was manageable if they moved fast. Steele was up the ladder in a flash, two other men with him. Ethan grabbed a pitchfork.

“Steele, tell some men to put out the burning hay when I pitch it out. Someone get the mare and her foal out. The rest of you men work up here, get buckets of water.”

Steele started shouting orders, then rushed down the ladder.

Ethan stabbed the fork deep into a flaming pile of hay and carried it to the window. He took a quick look below to make sure his men were alert, then threw it as far as his strength allowed.

Thuds from behind him assured him that his men were battling the fire. Without a pause as he pitched fire out of the loft, Ethan noticed that a cowhand carrying a bucket of water climbed up, handed the water over to Steele, and then disappeared for more. Another hand on the ground below doused the flames that rained down into the yard.

Ethan heard his mare scream with fear. He hoped Steele had someone who could handle the crazed horse. Ethan trusted Steele to know his job.

The flames danced high, licking at the rafters. If the roof went, they’d lose the barn. And if that happened, the woods would catch fire. They’d start a nightmarish blaze that could dole out destruction for a hundred miles.

Ethan jammed his pitchfork into the next clump of blazing hay, and the flames whooshed up, singed his face and hair. His shirt sleeve caught fire!
