   Dave...Yes it's starting to calm down a little. We are back to delivering septic tanks and trying to run our business...still have no landline phones. I'll try to get some pictures up next week. my wife and I are homeless but fine...we saved both of my daughters houses and brother Dave's...he also lost his 95 year old mother-in-laws house..she's fine also. Nobody has been allowed to start cleanup yet. We have a general engineering contractors license which should allow us to participate in demolition removal. Here's a link to the Cal Fire website for this fire http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents/incidentdetails/Index/1874 | |

   I'm also sorry to hear of your losses, Mel, after all that rain you got last winter, who would have thought that the extra growth and then extra dry weather would end up causing all the losses in your country.  I hope the worst is over. | |

   OMG, Just read this, and I too am very sorry to hear of your losses of homes...  and property but thankful you folks are safe. Seen videos on tv of homes and residences that were reduced to smoking char... and had hoped those fires could have been put out before it burned so much... Hoping your world will get back to normal again some day. mmm, It seems your normal is still almost normal... you are busy doing and working hard to help others at every opportunity.

   Sorry to here of your losses Mel. How about the cattle, shop,and all treasures waiting there turn to come back to life? The livestock always worries me the most with fire in my area. But I don't know of any cattle being burned locally.  | |
