I caved in to my curiosity and called my younger brother, the Chief.
He said their housing development, Rolling Hills Ranch in Chula Vista, was evacuated Monday morning. They had both vehicles packed and ready.
The fire, the "Harris fire," came as close as 500 yards but by Tuesday evening, they were back home.
Doug thinks that, along with the diligent efforts of firefighters, the neighborhood landscaping, including the golf course in his backyard, and fire resistant construction contributed to preserving their home.
UPDATE: here's some photos of the fire. Here's some decent video.
And I guess the evacuation was last Monday, even though my brother simply said, "Monday." I'm just supposed to know that it was last Monday.
