Thanks for the hot tip.

Luckily, the fire's westward advance along the foothills was stopped at the foothills above Claremont. It was San Dimas that was most greatly in danger, but the city was spared.

I was really not in the direct path of the fire, which is basically burning semi-wilderness areas, where people build in the mountains or on the rugged slopes / foothills of the mountains. They are in a high-risk area as far as fire danger, and they should be aware if they bought or tried to buy fire insurance. Their premiums are high. It is the same thing as if you live in a flood zone.

Sooo, the fire would've continue to burn in a west - east direction. To come the 3-5 miles to me, the fire would've had to jump 2 major interstate freeways, which is highly unlikely.
