I'm trying to be very careful not to post any rumors there are plenty of those.
I counted 4 large houses and another large structure possibly a garage or something. and the care takers compound with 2 travel trailers and every
thing else they owned
there may or may not have been cars but I saw no evidence of such. there were boats and lots of other toys lost in the fire.

Not very fast....there are still black palms from fires we fought in the seventies and eighties...although fire is beneficial for palms and rarely
kills an adult. According to my research........
In palms the vascular bundles, those tubes that transport water and nutrients, are scattered throughout the trunk. This arrangement provides
insulation from the heat of a fire. By contrast, trees such as oaks have all their vascular tissue in a ring just beneath the bark. Fire does kill
young palms, but it also removes competitors and opens up space for palm seeds to germinate. In fact, desert fan palms increase seed production
immediately after fires. A healthy palm can produce as many as 350,000 seeds....so let's hope all this is true.

Erle Stanley Gardner was fascinated by the burnt palms he saw in the most remote canyons of Baja... Wondering if it was lightning, static electricty
or what that caused this.
Along the road to Mision Santa Maria, the palms are burned... People at Santa Ynez said a crazy man torched them.
They create quite a blaze... if you have ever seen one or a photo of one on fire!

Cabo Magic.....excelente! What a wonderful thing to do.
Burnt palms
I was in San Ignacio 2 years ago for their big fiesta July 31(just so happens to be my birthday too so we thought that we would celebrate there!) when
they had a fire in the date palms. The sound is terrifying. Units from GN and SR came to help and it took hours before it was brought under control.
No loss of life or property except the palms.
3 years ago there was a mysterious fire in the estuary, mostly washingtonias but a few cocos which sound like bombs going off when the nuts explode.
BUT the sounds were what scared me the most. You can hear the energy of the fire....strong. And super scarey.

Tommi and Lori Garcia run a first class operation and are first class people. They have proven this many times in the past - this is just the latest

Fast fire
As I stood gazing over the beauty of Muleges' palm forest and romantic lush riverbanks below I remarked to my in-laws on their first Mulege visit
"Fires happen here regularily, as they do everywhere."
From the vista above the Mission my guests were awed by the palms
Twenty minutes later we stood in the same place, shocked by the change.
Next to the school
A ground level view of what was left of the homes
A day later, still hot spots
I was amazed at the speed at which the crowns spread the fire. As you can see, in some places the ground remained untouched and in others, the
tree-tops were left untouched and intact. Two words:
Homeowner insurance.
My condolances to the caretaker, Ray and Roberto.
Pompano, thanks for the concern.
Bruce, nice to see you and Edith. STAY WELL!!
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!
