She’s a longtime East County resident who survived a house fire in Alpine with her spouse and kids. (can’t find a link to support this but I’m sure if you dig deep enough, you’ll find it). Not sure if she got her horses out in time ….. or didn’t. A former prosecutor (from back in my day, lol), I remember her well. Haven’t been following her recently but I’ve got a long memory :-0
Judge Cookson’s “house fire” was the result of a large brush fire in her area … not just affecting her home but her entire neighborhood. It was devastating as I recall. And her coming out of the house in her pajamas attempting to rescue her horses was broadcast on the local news.
