That fire picked the wrong person to try and burn their house down, glad you prevailed.

Scary stuff, faced quite a bit of that with my career.

Never had to defend my own home, can only image the thoughts going through your mind.

Glad you and your home stayed safe.

Just got into Chile Chico a 100 K from the house. Went climbing at La Pyramide while the hot spots were put out. Should be able to move back in tomorrow....will keep you posted.

Everything is okay Lynne.

Yes Guido.....Lito's place is 1 K away, he's fine.

Now Jim knows what those of us who have lived a lifetime proving it know -
it is better to be lucky than good, sometimes.

You are not done yet. There will be mud flow the next time it rains heavily. Dig a trench above your house directing the water and mud away from the house. Then dig another one above that. Voice of experience.
