We are VERY happy to report that Rick, his wife and his dog have moved back into his home. There is no damage. He told us that several houses on the adjacent streets are gone - burned to the ground but none on his street are damaged.

It seems that there are two horseshoe streets one on either side of his cove. They go back into the woods further than does his cove. The back of these streets is where the damage occurred. That is still too close!

It seems that the firefighters have the fire about 70% under control as of last night. Hopefully it will burn itself out over the weekend. Rick said that the pictures you have seen on TV are truthful. That is how it looks.

He dodged a bullet. Thanks for your prayers.
