Fires in Jan's neighborhood.

 

While writing the book Fire Girl, there were a total of seven fires that CDF responded to that were very close to Jan Mendoza's house. One nieghbor nearly lost her home when a grass fire ripped through her entire property.  Here are the photos.

Whitmore Past and Present

Jan and her husband owned a 4000 gallon water tender from 2005-2014 and here are scenes from fires they worked on with the US Forest Service and Cal Fire.  2008 was an especially busy year for fires in California!
