Fire fighters are great but

The Wildland Fire Fighters in So Cal are the best in the world.

I'm from the NW and that is easy to admit. (Everybody has tough fires. So Cal is just the worst with homes all over. The weather. The fuels. The politics.)

But; the weather is what has saved you for now. Those great fire fighters are simply doing their job and taking what they are given.

Pay attention to the wind and the humidity.
Think about eventually re-roofing or whatever might be your most important investment.
Those great fire fighters are nothing compared to the power of nature.
If the humidity had been low and the wind had pushed the fire your way the day after the two big ones burned together......
You may have lost your home that day despite the best efforts of mice and men.
 
Yes, the weather has been a huge help, we have had some monsoonal moisture coming through without it firing into T-Storms for nearly a week...until this evening when we had storms popping up over the east end of the valley. We could have some new starts at any time. You never knows...
