Very, I lived through the horrific 2003 San Diego fires and was in the Paradise fire. We watched in horror as they allowed the fire to burn down from it's point of origin in Valley Center to the very ridge of the canyon surrounding our subdivision. The news ran no alerts, it was only through friends and neighbors living above us that we realized that the winds were blowing the fire right toward us. If it wasn't for the chlorine stored at the treatment plant at the reservoir above us, the air drops would not have occurred. What do we do? We are required to clear 100 feet of brush from any structure. We have the fire marshall give talks in our neighborhood to educate our neighbors as to what they can do to protect their property. We have a fire proof concrete roof, spark arrestors on our chimney, grow drought proof plants, keep all trees trimmed, remove dead plants, leaves and flammable debris promptly, do not burn fires on red flag or windy days, we have automatic sprinklers in our homes and our yards, we report the smell sight of smoke or the very sight of flame to our fire department immediately, we avoid the use of mulch or flammable ground cover close to or surrounding structures, we have practice evacuations because we are in a box canyon with one way in out, we have plans to assist our elderly neighbors and those with special needs in evacuation, and finally, my neighbor's farm has their own fire hoses fed by their well that are in a readied position to knock down flames until the fire department arrives.
