In the center is the remains of a house.

The path of the fire is hard to predict, since it burned the foreground but did not touch the grass in the background.

|
This used to be a palm tree
|
This was a plastic fence
|
|
"Red Mountain" looks pretty black from here. Fortunately the houses on this side were spared.
|
Not much is left after the fire burns through.
|
|
The fire was intense - burning succulents and cacti to a crisp.
|
Five miles of Camp Pendleton alongside the freeway looked like this.

A house right on the 15 freeway where the fire jumped the freeway was burned.

What's left of a utility pole.

Everywhere you look, crews are fixing utility poles.

Down the hill from us, the utility repair crews are staging to replace poles. Look at the pile of poles they have ready to use!

Dusk, Tue. 10/30. Repairing the high voltage lines that provide power to the houses down the street from us.
|
Many power lines were downed. Here two guys work on the 14KV line that runs over my neighbor's property.

Interesting piece of history. This Martin Mars was used to fight the local fires by waterbombing. Karen's Uncle Walter was one of the few pilots ever trained to fly the 4 places built at the end of WW2. Photo By A. Foulk for the Valley News

This gopher snake was probably run over trying to escape the fire as it burned just on the side of the road. The LA Times had a picture of a bobcat with burned feet hobbling along the trail.
