wag 69 vinyl top gtx up close looks to have burned hot or was a project? no door handles and vent frames gone. Fires out here are not fun. Between mismanaged lands and hoarder land owners no matter how much 'fire-proofing' one does the firefighters may just drive by to find a better place to make their stand. I've been through evac orders 4 or 5 times (not sure about a fire in '86), never fun and really makes one sure must have stuff is organized (and running good). A bit like Hurricanes here as far as evacuating, but much worse in that wildfires are so unpredictable. At least with Hurricanes we see them starting, watch them and know ahead of time to leave (except some of us losers in the wrong line of work).

i would say your eyes are correct. lots of aluminum on new stuff as you know, and there is probably a little slope to the street. it's too bad about the lives lost and all the damage. easy to rebuild property damage, but you can't resurrect someone from their resting place............ almost too sad to see the fires in action, especially when watching them create their own destructive weather.

They were probably loading it or waiting for a trailer and ran out of time.
In this era you need a backup gen and unlimited water to feed the roof and perimeter sprayers. We also keep a 1000 gallon beater d500 fire truck in the yard all summer. Not what I had in mind moving to Oregon years back. Looking for property closer to the coast! Pray for those poor people; if they do survive the fire they are often left with a colossal mess to desl with. Akin to the people affected by Katrina and other natural disasters.
