As you know, California is our fire State, or at least the one that gets all of the press. High winds and dry conditions at a certain time of the year allow fires to spread at an alarming rate. This cycle has been going on since time began, but of course is a acute problem now because people have built expensive homes in these areas, which are great places to live minus the fires.
Anyway, we can only wish you the best of luck. I can’t imagine the feeling of watching your life’s work go up in flames and being helpless to stop it.
