Listen, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am safe as well, I am in Brazil and the fires didn't get this far. Just so everyone knows...

I'm happy to read that you are ok! Thanks!

Residents of Corral, Latigo and Escondido canyons were allowed to drive into their fire-ravaged neighborhoods Sunday night. Checkpoints ensured that only residents -- and not looters -- drove up the twisting canyon roads.

As many as 14,000 residents were ordered to evacuate Saturday.



Something doesn't jive here.

In the beta news clip, which was from Saturday, didn't she say the fireman told her to close her garage and go back inside?

So did they not evacuate? 

Unless beta checked the house out afterwards?

Fernando was the smart one and was out of the country altogether.

Glad to hear that Axl, Beta and everyone else are alright!

[slashsbaconpit]

I hope they catch the little cock suckers who set it originally. Accident or not, even the stupidest person in the world would know not to screw around with fire in that area.

Any news how bad the damage is around the house?  Can you imagine looking out on a land charred by fire?  It's going to take years for that to grow back and what is going to hold the land on the hillside when it rains?  How long is it going to take to wash way the evidence and smell of that?  And everytime the wind kicks up, they are going to wonder if a wall of fire is blowing their way.  Saved the house but this is going to take a long time to recover from.  This was far more than a little piece of the roof on fire wasn't it?

From some of the interviews I saw, the fire started in the middle of the night and caught a lot of homeowners by surprise.

Also, some homeowners do stay and try to defend their property. 

This fire seemed to move very quickly and probably surprised most.

He meant that Axl should move out of that area, Horsey.

1,300th post

of course i meant out of the area. thanks for clearing it up for me.
oh and she, not he. last time i checked i was a woman lol.

good to hear everyone is okay (thanks beta), i still think they should move out of the area though. i don't want to wake up one day to read that it's all over.

I'm a little late joining this thread but nevertheless just wanted to voice my relief that Axl and those dear to him came through this safely.? And, of course, to add my thanks to Beta and Fernando for their updates which were very much appreciated.

The only good news that will come out of this,
If you want to look at it as good news,
is that There wont be another fire then now for a while, considering that now all the bush is burnt off,
It should be fine for the next few years...


Small concilation for such a huge amount of damage,

Glad to see axls putting his life on the line for his money 

Only kiddin, shows how much of a brave man this guy is,

Well done Axl , and Beta, I love your accent,
and Im glad everyones safe,
cheers...

At that point it wasn't safe to leave. Sounded like the property was surounded.

[Ride Her]

Maybe the best news of the year, everybody safe at Axl's place

[ppbebe]

would be better if there wasn't a fire.

Damn! That's not cool!

it's an inferno. can't be cool But strangely you wouldn't feel the heat on the spot. It's that scary.

how come ? do you mean the heat is so hot that you don't feel the burn ? i'm lost, i'm too frenglish on this one, i need baby talk please???

I mean in an emergency like this one, people tend to forget the senses.
I heard just 3 teachers managed to carry a grand piano out of a fire.

I am so happy that all of you are OK!

[horsey]

That's good.



For all you geographically challenged, Brazil is a bit south-east of where the fires happened.

lol really?  Now I?m kinda shocked. I thought it was in Asia...

seeing fernando?s post made me think of the Abba song all over again (there was something in the air that night, the stars were bright Fernando... and it won?t get out of my air in the next hours... it?s just like Phill Collins... oh god lol

You shouldn't be so flippant. When fires learn how to jump over oceans that guy could be in serious trouble.  Have fun in Brazil Fernando.

[cineater]

Doesn't have to jump.  Head south and make a left.  Canal crossing and that's easy.
