My heart's having trouble starting again just after hearing about an experience like that. How horrible for you, and thank goodness you're all right. Hooray for awesome fire departments! And I understand completely about the flinching at the smell of smoke. (It took me months to stop flinching at the squealing of tires after The Big Car Crash of 2005, and that wasn't nearly as scary as a house afire.)
Are the people who own the burning house okay? It wasn't the "YOU GOTTA REMEMBER WHO FUCKIN' LOVES YOU" people, was it?
And you're right; summers are exhausting, this one in particular. I'm so glad that the near misses aren't direct hits, but I'm really crossing my fingers that this puts the cap on your share of them for the decade, and that it's smooth sailing from here on out.
