*************************
The big fire in Temecula last Thursday was a bit too close for comfort! The fire was approximately 500 yards from my house, just on the other side of a hill.
The airplanes and helicopters were nearly scraping the roof of my house. Water from the helicopter's giant bucket actually came down on my house and patio as it was flying over.
We began gathering the photo albums and important documents just in case. Luckily the fire fighters did a great job of containing it and the wind was blowing it in the opposite direction of my house.
