My son got his wife and son to safety yesterday. Nothing else matters.
One annoying aspect of the "news" coverage is how much time they devote to the celebrities inconvienced by this fire. Who the hell cares? Why waste airtime talking about celebrities when they could be reporting on where the fire lines are?

Good that they are safe.
I am curious to know - how much was made of the area when your son first moved in? Was it noted to be a high risk location? What were the mitigating factors in the decision (meaning - if it was high risk - because of this we'll buy anyway)? Do they even have high risk fire zones like they do flood zones?
The reason I'm asking you is because with a family member - you will likely have a bit more insight than the average person who thinks, "Well - they must have known they would likely find themselves in the path of a wild fire when they built there!"
