NEDERLAND — As Pam Harrington prepared to flee approaching flames from the Cold Springs fire on Saturday afternoon, she suddenly looked up to see a wall of black smoke before her. The blaze she had smelled minutes earlier as she was doing chores at a barn with her 5-year-old daughter had moved in more quickly than she could have expected. After ensuring her daughter was safe in a vehicle headed out of the area, she turned her attention to her horses — a Mustang and her daughter’s pony — only to realize her only option was to ride them to safety. A horse trailer she was hoping to use was missing a part and a pickup nearby was too small to haul the load.
