Not a single home was damaged in 4S Ranch. Not one . . . not even any singed landscaping. Serious fires are caused by Fire + Santa Ana winds. Santa Ana winds ALWAYS blow in a westerly direction. Maybe west by northwest or west by southwest or directly west but NEVER north, south, or east. This is a simple fact of the phenomena that creates the Santa Anas a high pressure zone over Las Vegas or Utah to the east. Examine what is west of 4S Ranch, at least the part south of Camino Del Norte. You have I-15, Carmel Mountain Ranch, and all of Poway. So until the entire areas of Poway and Carmel Mountain Ranch burn to the ground . . . 4S will not be burned by Santa Ana driven fires. Its survival without a single home damaged is testament to this.
Other areas I am very very sorry suffered losses.
