Last night @lairdhamiltonsurf stayed behind with our dear friend @elijah_a.b and fought the fire with a pump and our pool water. Not just for training. He went back today to check and so far they managed to protect our home and our neighbors home. The poor fight fighters are spread over an impossible amount of miles

Now I know why I learned at an early age not to mess with mother nature. There is too much ground to cover for the brave firefighters so many of the members of the community are doing their best. I want to thank my dear friend @elijah_a.b who stayed behind with me and fought the fire at my house and my neighbors. For now he helped me keep the home standing. Most importantly is that the humans are safe. First video is all around our home and the second video is what we saw as we were exiting PCH just north of Pepperdine.Aloha
