The Rock Farm Fire destroyed two homes and threatened more than one thousand others on Tuesday. Officials tell us it started inside of a home before wind pushed it to nearby brush. Crews were able to stop the fire at 120 acres. 

A lot of people spent the day after the fire hosing off their houses, cleaning all the pink retardant dropped to supress it. But they say, they would rather clean, than not have a home to go back to. 

"I am just relieved we have a house to come back to, i'm just so grateful to fire department and everyone else," says Dawn Detton, homeowner. 

Firefighters say the sooner you clean it, the easier it will be the get the substance off, but sometimes it does come down to the insurance company to help with that. The base of the substance is water and they say the fire retardant dropped isn't toxic. Water should be enough to dissolve it.
