The fire near 15/76 doesn't look like it will be under control any time soon and heading to O'Side. I hope everyone is safe and things go well for all.
If you need help, please post up and we'll see what we can do ASAP.
Take care, be safe, and be thinking of everyone's safety & well being.

I woke up this morning to see we're officially in the evacuation zone. That being said, our former next door neighbor is an Oceanside firefighter (who now lives in Bonsall and came *this close* to losing his home last night) said it would take something cataclysmic for the fire to get to us. Nonetheless, we're packed up and ready to roll should it be necessary.

We rolled out of town about two hours before the fire started. Left the kids behind. We were voluntary evacuation for a while, then mandatory last night, kids held the fort down. Looks like the worst is over thank goodness. Thanks for all the thoughts and offers for help.


:cheers:

My parents were in Mandatory Evac in Fallbrook (Morro Hills area, Sleeping Indian). The left about 5:30 last night, came to my house. We watched coverage until about 1:30 am, because things were moving toward their neighborhood.

Before good coverage started this morning, they got a report from a neighbor (Oceanside PD) who stayed home that the neighborhood was totally fine. In the end, fire didn't get very close, but could have if winds had continued.

I think Orvin lives in the general path and was most likely evacuated also.

At my house, we were just outside the Voluntary Evac Zone, south of Oceanside Blvd, but we were prepped to Evac also if we needed to.

I don't live in North County but works at a farm in Bonsall/Oceanside. We were ordered to evacuate the farm around 4:30pm on the 7th. We had guys in the farm the whole time updating us and the fire got close but not critical to affect us other than the power outage. The fire started at the same exact location in 2013 during the Freeway Fire where our farm actually became the buffer between the fire and the hills in Vessels Ranch. This time, I don't think the farm fields would have made much difference due to the high winds.

The fire on Sun was contained by the fire crew just 150 feet from the edge of our field (on the horizon in the background). We offered our well water stations for the fire fighters during the crisis but they used our porta potties in the fields mostly. :)

^^^ My recollection from the previous fire was that you had sent a tractor or bulldozer from your fields up to cut a firebreak that helped to save the mobile home park. I was thinking of that driving home past the burning park on Thursday night, and afraid the whole park was destroyed this time. I was amazed to see on Monday (too smoky Friday to see anything) that about half the trailers, I think, survived, as did the historic adobe.

Fuck fires. We had to evacuate, fire came right through the neighborhood. One home lost.

2017 has been one hell of a year.
