3 days we haven’t been able to get in to find out about my Mother in laws home off of Mulholland and Troutdale, near the Peter Straus ranch.

Wife and Daughter went down and check it out today even though it’s only 10% contained.

Met my Mother in Law and Her Boy Friend, only to find all roads closed.

My wife’s sister has a hay and feed store on Agoura rd that was spared from the fire.

While they were there cleaning up a local came by and bought some food for his animals. He came from the burn area that was closed off, he told my family how to get past the blockade.

Well they made it to the bridge on Mulholand and troutdale and it was melted.

So a 1/4 mile on foot to house from there.

First house on Careful was intact, the next 6 burned to the ground, my Mother in laws the last house on the street hidden by trees.

As they approached they figured all hope was lost at this point.

You have to go down a steep drive away and the house is hidden behind trees.

My Daughter Kayla was the first to see it still standing!

My mother in-law has lived there for 42 years.

We are counting are blessing knowing a lot of people weren’t as fortunate.

This is the side of her house. I really have to say it’s not as much of a miracle as it was brave men.

My mother in laws house sits next to maintenance yard and a guy by the name of Malibu Mike and his Boss.

They saw my mother in laws neighbors house go up like a bomb and grabbed a hose, one of them went up the street and got a fire truck to come and they saved her house.

One thing is certain my mother in laws neighbor was told to clear brush buy the fire dept, and didnt. That didnt help the situation. Still with high winds and the erratic nature this fire burned. I doubt it would’ve helped.
