In the pre-dawn hours of 15 November 2008, a raging brushfire, fanned by hot, dry gale force winds from the east, swept though this densely wooded foothill area.
Ambient air temperature that night was 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32°C) and the wind was gusting to 70 miles per hour.
Of the 600 tightly clustered mobile homes you see in this trailerpark, nearly 500 were completely destroyed.
