Re: [RC] Auburn fires. Dan Schafer & the horses? - Barbara McCrary
Title: Message
Those poor firefighters...they just finished up on the
Lockheed fire here and then they have to go off to others, in So. CA and
Auburn. There was even a fire over on Pacheco Pass west of Los
Banos. Of course, different firefighters are rotated in every 36 hours or
so, I think. I know there was a lot of rotation going on here.
Subject: [RC] Auburn fires. Dan Schafer
& the horses?
I just came from
a pleasant ride with Dan, all is well. As the crow flies, Dan, Andy, Kathie
F, and I are all about 4 miles from the devastated area and I did not
feel threatened at all, but was watching carefully as we (Kathie & I)
helped evacuate Dawn, only about 2000' away from the north end of
the fire. It has not spread any since then that I know of. Yesterday
when it started, it looked like it was in my neighbor's backyard, down in
the Bear River canyon. I was thankful to find it was not, by
keenly aware that an increase and more steady wind could push it into our
area very quickly. We're deeply saddened by all the loss of property,
including the home of my husband's co-worker. However, the loss of property
is nothing compared to the lives lost in SoCal. I hope and pray that the
fires can be brought under control without any more loss of life, especially
the firefighters who put their lives on the line for us and our property.
God bless them and keep them safe.

Ford or anyone who might know Dan Schafer, Hey Kathy, I just read about
the fires taking out 60 houses near Bell Road. I've been calling &
calling but I haven't been able to get through to Dan Schafer. Are the fires
near his place? Do you know if he's had to evacuate his ponies and my horse
Cabo? Smoke is just about the only thing on this planet that will scare Cabo
and get him to bolt and jump a fence. Damn I hope Dan & everyone is OK.
Sounds very scary. Are YOU & yours OK? Any word on Dawn? I know she got
the critters out but the last word was that she was going back to battle it
out at her house. My prayers are with you. Call me
