No pictures to post yet, but maybe tonight I will have some time to post them.
State Forestry crews are still cutting breaks north of the fire, separating the burned area from the non burned forest.
I did notice the motto on the door of a SW Fire Engine today. I didn't read past the first word, "prompt." I thought, yes, thankfully they are!
Coincidentally, there is a SW Fireman who lives in the immediate area of the fire. His boardwalk has burned edges, but his house looks like it is alright. He was not only fighting for his neighbors, but also for his own house.
After looking at the damage today, I think there are many lucky property owners, because that fire could have easily took out all of those homes. Having stucco downstairs, and mostly hardi-board upstairs on the exterior of these condos, really helped prevent the fire from taking down the houses. You will see the contrast of the mostly unharmed hardi-board on the second floor, compared to the charred wooden shutters.
