Today I went up the hill towards mom's house to take pictures of some of the damage caused by the fire. I thought about doing this last Monday, but the fire was still burning and I felt like a ghoul or tragedy-monger. The owners were all standing in front of their homes and it was all too fresh and painful. Even today there were a lot of sight-seers and looky-lou's, and I was one of them. It still felt wrong, but I wanted a record for the future.
This house was on Rosamond street down from where it intersects with Camp Plenty road. It is right in the middle of the block, but backs up against the hills. I was told they had a lot of brush and vegetation behind them, but I don't know for certain. It was the only one lost on that street.
Both houses on the corner between Rosamond and Carvelle burned to the ground. This on used to belong to some members years ago.
This house is right below where the water tanks used to be, and the canyon right above the house. The house is still livable. Only the garage was burned.
Further up the hill.

Thanks for getting these Gordon. I agree it would be sensitive to take them but I'm with you, I'd like to have it recorded for historic reasons.
