The Morning Began With A “Pop”
We heard the strange pop noise and then got a call from our next door neighbor that the hill behind us was on fire!! Too close for comfort. I roused the neighbors because I saw flames and kind of freaked out thinking the worst and if we needed to evacuate, I wanted everyone to have a fighting chance. You never know with CA fires. I ran across the street in my pjs and socks and started banging on doors like a mad-woman. This is on the heels of our 911 call yesterday for a little guy who had a bad asthma attack (he took a med-evac ride to San Diego and is stabilizing). I think we are going to rename our block Wisteria.
The fire trucks came and it was out in about 30 minutes. Luckily, we still have June Gloom and no wind so it was out really quick. They are still cleaning it up as I write and investigating. From the pop sound, we think it was started by the electrical poles. Anyway, Good Morning Sunshine!!

This was an interesting way to find out about a fire behind my daughter’s house. I am so glad that they were able to get it out quickly, so it could be an interesting story instead of an emergency.

Hey! Are you guys back? I tried to call your cell phones a few days ago and it sent me to voicemail so I assumed you were still on the road. Crazy, hey? I’m calling you…
