If you’re in a canyon in RSF the realtor will say “Greenbelts surround this lush Canyon home” if you’re in SEH it suddenly becomes a “firetrap”. Gimme a break. There are currently 3 entrances/exits out of SEH. Just because there are mountains on either side, doesn’t mean it’s a “trap” of any kind.
Honestly I hope people don’t buy in SEH…maybe that will drive down the cost so we can actually afford one of these over-priced homes. But for now, I’m content to rent in SEH and Mtn. Bike the mountains surrounding it…but don’t worry, I always carry my fire extinguisher with me on rides… just in case I get trapped by those sneaky infernos.
When SEH was evacuated as a result of the Coronado Hills fire, the Twin Oaks extension was closed. This makes sense since that was the direction the fire was coming from.
Because of the weather conditions associated with wildfires here (i.e. easterly winds), I would expect any future evacuations would also see possible closures of the Twin Oaks extension and the road to Escondido through Elfin Forest. In reality, San Elijo Road to Rancho Santa Fe is the only viable way out.
All that being said, is SEH a fire trap? No, a fire trap is a situation where the only way out is into the approaching fire. Think Wildcat Canyon back during the Cedar fire. That was a fire trap.
