Re: New Fire in SoWal -- Sommerset Beach - Seagrove
I live on Sugar Sand Lane behind Angelina's and let me tell you we were worried. Our backyard backs up to an empty lot, so we & workers from a construction crew were watering about 3 houses when the house 1 lot over from mine( house has a large deck on top of house) the fence & pool decking which is wood caught fire, then the lot next to our fence was burning.. I left my husband watering, grabbed the neighbors hose, but that was not enough, a couple of workers came with me and started using buckets to get water from the pool, I had to leave the smoke was too bad at that point, I just knew my house was going next, but somehow those guys were able to put out the fire. If you saw how big an area was on fire you would be shocked that they were able to put it out. The wind kept blowing in my direction it was just a matter of minutes before we were next. It was terrible knowing fire tricks were over at the Seagrove Bunglow's and could not get some over in our area. We are very fortunate that everything for us is okay, but I feel soo bad for the people behind us.
Hardhead.
