Fire Update
Fires are still bad of course, but when I heard that the one closest to us (the Foothill Ranch fire)was started by arson I felt enraged. These people are sick and deserved to be torched to see how they like it. It seems like every time there's wild fires like this, at least some of them were started by arsonists. Also I'm a little scared now because my mom said that there's a possibility that the fire near us could come around the hills and start heading our way. I still don't think it will get to us, but I'm crossing my fingers anyway. We've been so lucky really that we haven't had a fire come towards our neighborhood the 21 years we've been here. There was one back in the early 90s that happened that was a really close call though. My parents were even getting ready to pack up in case we had to evacuate. It never came though luckily. We're all so grateful that it hasn't happened here. It really makes you think about what would happen. We don't even have enough room in our cars to take all the stuff we would want. It's a terrible and depressing thought knowing that your house could be burned down. We happen to live in an area that can be a fire hazard too, so we've been very fortunate we haven't had to deal with it.
