[RC] fire in Paradise/Oroville area? - Kathie Ford
Is there anyone out there on RC that has any update or knowledge if any homes were saved off Clark Rd by Pentz?
My sister in law was evacuated this afternoon with really no warning and the fire was right there by her house. They only had time to get some photos, important papers in a metal box and the dog. Unfortunately her chickens were left in the pen (no time) and neighbor horses were left in pastures where the people that own them are not there often. It is horrible.
She'd been watering, (thought the fire was way north and almost out yesterday so wasn't to worried), then went into her house and the power went out. She ran outside saw black smoke and flames just a short distance in tall grass and a steep slope coming her way...Trucks were pulling up and yelling to get out immediately...we pray the firefighters were safe trying to save homes.
They barely got out but we are trying to find out if her home survived or not. We are thankful for their physical safety. We mourn for the animals however.
