A Tale of Fire and Tikis in SD - General Tiki

It was an experience that I didn't expect to have and hope to never repeat. We were truly lucky to not be seriously affected by the fire. It could have very easily turned out differently. I also heard from Bosko...as Jungletrader said, they really had a very close call. Bosko said the firefighters came in at the last possible moment and lit backfires on his property to cut off the advancing flames from the main fire. He says he spent the entire night Sunday putting out small fires on the property after the firefighters left. Most of the surrounding hills and land around them is blackened. This is all unbelievable. It may sound a bit cliche but until we witnessed it we always thought these things could only happen to other people in other places. Despite it all, we still love San Diego and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else. ModMana :drink:
