To see how close the fires really were to our house check out this clip a friend sent Pat. My friend Suzi's house was first evacuated in the Windsor Estates the fire came right up to her fence. Later on in the video you will see another fire burning close to the canyon this canyon area runs right in front of our house it is a National Bird preserve with lots of brush and trees. We were mandatory mandatory evacuated at 9:30pm. on Monday October the 13th. Thanks to the firefighters there were no homes lost in the Juliet Fire. http://groundedpro.blip.tv/#1366173
