The fire destroyed roughly 30 structures and dozens of vehicles were lost. Some residents lost homes, while others were close calls."The fire was coming very close, 100 feet 200 feet, and say, 'It's time to go, not time to wait.' Because the fire started over there and came all the way over here," said Aurelio Jauregui, whose home was destroyed.
"We saw a lot of smoke and then we got out and saw big smoke and an explosion. Housing started burning. We got scared, so we gathered our papers and pulled our cars to get ready to go if we have to," said resident Antonio Bautista. Now we're told crews are making good progress, but the push to get the fire under control continues. We can also report that so far there aren't any known injuries - to either residents or fire crews.
