My parents went to Texas this last weekend to see Kansas State (their alma mater) play Texas A&M. K. State won and I'm sure my parents had a drunken good weekend with their alumi. They flew home on Monday and noticed smoke in the air. It wasn't until my folks drove a little closer that they noticed the smoke was right by their house. They pulled up the driveway to discover firetrucks, firemen, and a yard full of neighbors watching the flames start to make their way over a nearby ridge. My parents house neighbors the miltary base Camp Pendleton, and they have miles of open brush covered land right behind their home. There is a fire break that is well maintained that actually saved their house. They also got lucky that the wind was blowing in their favor. My Dad said it was really sad when nightfall set in and all these little birds started flying all over blindly slamming into the side of the house. The fire moved it's way past their home and all was good. The Schmidts got lucky this time.

Glad your parent's house is ok! That was close!
Oh my gosh! Glad everyone is OK. I've been way out of the loop! I didn't know there was a fire in SD area. I thought there was just one in LA...
