Wildfire Aftermath - A Look Around The Area


Since I had (temporary) control of my camera, I took a short detour and headed up the canyon, to see what had happened, during the Wildfire last week. This damage is from the Buckweed Fire.
This is Plum Canyon, where several friends of my son's live. I brought one of the boys home from the party Saturday night and even though it was dark, you can still smell the smoke from this one.

The boy whipped out his cell phone, pointed to the house about 2 from his and showed me the video of when the fire came rushing down the hill into that houses backyard. Frightening footage and even more surreal when seen at the location that it happened at, in the dark.


Another cul-de-sac just down the hill, from the first location. Another boy at the party lives on this street. Again, the fire roared down the hill and thank goodness, firefighters stopped it.


Signs thanking the firefighters are all around this area of the Canyon. We are a truly grateful bunch of people.

Driving to Lombardi Ranch... You can see some of the damage. I will show you Lombardi Ranch pictures, tomorrow.
