Valley Fire, 10/17/18

UPDATE; The fire  is out. One garage/barn and 2 cars destroyed, but the house was saved, and all residents were fine. Here are the before and after shots:
From Sandra Silvestri:

“Kate – The fire is at the property next door to our vineyard. My brother is there taking video and it seems the firemen have it under control. They’ve been taking water from our vineyard pond in the helicopter.

Just thought you’d like to know. Ill let you know if I hear anything different.

Sandra”
