We happen to live right in the heart of the latest wild fire complex in Solano County in Northern California. I’ve lived on the ranch in Pleasants Valley in a house that was built in 1907 since 1972. I’ve have been witness to several devastating fires in the last 48 years, this one however came so close that we packed up and evacuated as the wall of flames came charging down the adjacent canyon and jumped to our side of the road. When we left I figured we would be moving on to the boat for sure. Long story short, the fire at last count I saw, consumed 140,000 acres and 150 plus homes and out buildings. Five personal freinds lost everything and literally had just minutes to flee. We however along with five of our neighbors were miraculously spared thanks to well defended and properly cleared and maintained properties and the grace of God. Thankfully there has yet to be reports of fatalities and we pray that stays the case. Our hearts go out to those who lost their beloved country homes and animals.
