Bucktotal, everything should be completely normal downtown and in PB.

I can't believe the fire moves that fast, I had no idea.

Thanks BlueEcho and UCLAbruinz for sharing the stories. Glad to hear both are ok and families are all well.

Having just been to San Diego for a holiday (my gf and I both really loved the city), I was very sad to see what's been happening over there. Thanks for telling your stories guys, it's all the more touching to read personal accounts.

Thanks for sharing, glad you guys had a plan and stuck to it - it makes a world of difference.

Be sure to report in when you get back home. I've personally never seen a wildfire or anything, pictures would be neat.

Do you think watering the house down is what kept it from completely burning?

Absolutely, there is no question the time i spent doing this saved my house I've taking pictures and as soon as I have time to download I will have them up.

I haven't been keeping up with the news about the fire(s)

I have a few friends that live in Alpine and El Cajon that I haven't talked to for a few weeks. Did the fire reach either of those areas and if so how bad was it?

Re: My Story regarding the San Diego Fire- long
 

Alpine and El Cajon were in danger, but I think ultimately they came through okay. Not 100% sure though.

BlueEcho or UCLA, do you know if La Mesa was hit at all? One of my best friends who I grew up with here in Pennsylvania lives in La Mesa and I don't have his number to call him.

Re: My Story regarding the San Diego Fire- long
 

I think all of La Mesa came through fine.
