fire at buenaventura
we were headed down to the airport at loreto yesterday,(waaaaaaaa, we have to go back!), and when we came past buenaventura on the bay, the restaurant
portion of the hotel at buenaventura was on fire...the whole roof was flaming and there were many, many people just standing around the perimeter...i
saw someone WALK over for a hose but it seemed no one really cared...the entire roof was on fire!...whatever...any other info?

Jeez, Mike...here we go again. I just got back from one fire north of here and now we have one south of me about 11 miles! Hope Olivia is okay.
Is this the season of fires?

that place SHOULD burn down (the hotel, not the surrounding houses!) That hotel is a pit.l

Somewhat surprising to see the fires so close, and remembering Santiago recently. Brings to mind that in the states, although not being reported on
much (yet), there's an epidemic of arson fires, buildings and vehicles, related to the economy. All done for insurance purposes. Stay tuned.

Terry28, it's a short run of only 11 miles from my Coyote Bay home. I'll go down and take a pic for you. Doesn't sound like any other structures
were in danger, but will confirm here soon.

Pompano,
Thank you very much...If it was the palapa type structure right next to the hotel (north side), that was used for storage and is directly behind the
big generators. The reason behind no water is they used gravity feed pilas from the roof for the hotel...no pressure to speak of.....

Oh, c'mon, some sleazy lawyer from TJ, who's trying to steal La Perla beach from the ejido, couldn't possibly be suspected of arsoning his own
property, could he???

Buenaventura Hotel and complex today
There appears to be very little damage at all. Just a small portion of the palapa roof and rafters. Looks to be too close to the genset and that
may been the cause of the little flare-up.
Nothing seemed unusual with all other structures, houses, and Olivia's restaurant. Here's this morning's photos:

The burned roof area seems to be just above a power plant.
