One family was fighting the flames of the Rose Fire right alongside fire crews to save everything. The fire now is 70% contained, burning 200 acres just south of Wickenburg. The Partridge family says they weren’t leaving but rather joining crews on the front lines. Their wood barn is still standing here today with the flames coming right up to the horse stalls, surrounded by a ring of fire."It sounded like a jet coming down the river," Craig Partridge said.
"Nothing's going to stop us from doing what we got to do. We'll fight right here with you."Their show horses running wild to escape the property filled with smoke are now in Prescott after smoke inhalation caused damage to their lungs and vision. "If I have to put her down, that dream of our legacy of these quarter horses is gone because my wife is not going to live long enough to do it again. That's the end of our legacy," he said.
