[quote=bearishgurl]If it burned all that time without being noticed or the fire department showing up, then where was the “covenant security” personnel all that time?? Don’t RSF owners pay through the nose for two HOA’s (the Master Assn. and neighborhood Assn.) What good did these layers of bureaucracy (before reaching the fire dept.) do in a time of crisis?

This is not “real” RSF, and not part of the covenant. This is Cielo. It’s essentially part of Escondido that’s assigned to RSF schools.

Thanks for clarifying, Eugene, I’m not *intimately* familiar with neighborhoods north of I-8. But if its part of Esc., then it is all the more astounding why the fire wasn’t reported in a timely manner. The neighbors had to have been asleep at the switch.

IIRC, there was talk about that being an “insurance” burn because the fire sprinklers (and alarm?) were disabled. Not sure what ever came of it.

From the UT article linked above

RANCHO SANTA FE – A multimillion dollar hilltop home under construction in the gated community of Cielo went up in flames Monday.

The 7,400-square-foot two-story home on Camino de Arriba near Punto Del Norte was reported ablaze just before 6 a.m., said Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District spokeswoman Julie Taber.

When firefighters arrived at the house in the private gated community it was fully engulfed, Taber said.

The home was close to being finished and was not yet occupied.

“It was heavily, heavily damaged,” she said.

About 30 firefighters from Rancho Santa Fe, Escondido, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Encinitas battled the flames for at least three hours, hampered by poor water pressure, the sheer size of the home and the collapse of the roof in one part, Taber said.

So, response was not the issue. 5 fire districts responded. The lack of water pressure and size of the fire were the issue.

If you go to the link in the OP where there are pictures – there are some pretty grim pictures.

If you go to redfin (see link in OP) and go to the map part of the page – click on the east/west/north/south links – you’ll see there is just a small remnant of the house. (More of a “normal” size house vs an estate.)
