Couple Find Wedding Rings In The Ashes Of Their Home After It Burnt Down Due To Wildfires

LNU Lightning Complex fires that have been active since mid-August have destroyed vast areas of land in northern California. The house of a couple was burnt to the ground in these wildfires. However, they still managed to find their wedding rings quite intact.

Jason and Chloe Caroll had been forced to flee their house in Vacaville, located northeast of San Francisco, as 'flames taller than trees' tore towards them.

The couple with their two sons had to evacuate their house and leave behind most of their belongings.

When they realised they¡¯d left their wedding rings in a wicker basket in the bathroom, Jason and Chloe tried to drive back to the house - which had been in Chloe's family for more than 35 years but it was too late. "I just watched it all burning down. I just thought of everything: my kids' ultrasound photos, my kids' footprints from their birth,¡± KCRA quoted Chloe as saying.

They did not have any hope of the rings surviving and assumed that they would have ¡®melted.' Within half an hour Chloe miraculously managed to find the rings - completely intact - right where the bathroom had been.

They were both delighted and said that the rings will provide some 'hope' for the future after the devastation of losing their home.

"I acquired one thing that I believed was utterly gone. It offers you a bit of 'we can do this'. It offers you a bit of hope,¡± Chloe said.

Maybe this was a sign of the strength of their love.
