Fire in Trabuco/Silverado Canyon, Sept. 25, 2004

Click on a photo to view a larger version

This fire was put out in about 2 1/2 hours, due to the amazing action of the Orange County Fire Department's quick response and highly organized efforts. We were witnesses start to finish, and were truly in awe of the talent and bravery of these firefighters. They averted a potential disaster to our neighborhood and area, during high fire danger season. The fire was arrested after burning 13 1/2 acres of brush, and it was reported that about 150 fire personnel were at the site.
