Yorba Linda Fire

When Ro came out of the Marie Osmond signing, she saw smoke at a distance. She asked a woman out front if any word on where the fire was. She replied that it was off the 91 @ gypsum canyon. What a chill! That is Brenna's off ramp. She lives in the houses right there and the river bed is in the back of her house off of La Palma. In a panic she tried to reach Brenna. However, being a beautiful week-end in November, they took off to the beach. When finally getting a hold of her, (she had no idea they were under manditory evacuation) she headed for home. Unable to get through, they stood watching what appeared to be their neighborhood burning. These are her pictures which she has a better detailed summery on her blog. We managed to get down to her and sit with them at Scott's parent's house waiting for the news.
After all was done and they were able to get back in, this was her chimmney and the only damage they sustained.
The girls talking to the firemen who faught the fire trying to save their school

The only damage to their school was a melted playground
As they stood across from their house watchin the flames at what appeared to be their house and neighborhood burning
The fire coming toward their home
