Wildfire destroys homes in California retirement park
Associated Press
FALLBROOK, Calif. — A brush
fire driven by gusty winds that have
plagued Southern California all
week exploded rapidly Thursday
north of San Diego, destroying
dozens of mobile homes in a retire-
ment community and killing race
horses at an elite training facility.
The fire exceeded 6 square
miles in a matter of hours and tore
through the tightly packed Rancho
Monserate Country Club commu-
nity in the small city of Fallbrook,
known for its avocado orchards and
horse ranches. Three people were
burned trying to escape the flames,
said Capt. Nick Schuler of the Cali-
fornia Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection.
The destructive blaze broke out
as firefighters tried to corral the
largest fire in the state that was
burning around Ventura — 130
miles to the north — and destroyed
430 buildings as it grew to 180
square miles since Monday. Fire
crews also fought large fires around
Los Angeles, though they made
enough progress to lift most evac-
uation orders.
Like other fires that have broken
out this week, Fallbrook has a
history of destructive blazes. Ten
years ago, as a series of similar fires
raced across Southern California,
a blaze in Fallbrook injured five
people, destroyed 206 homes and
burned 14 square miles.
Driven by winds above 35 mph,
Thursday’s fire wiped out rows
of trailer homes in the retirement
community and left behind charred
and mangled metal where they had
stood.
The fire started from an unknown
cause next to State Highway 76 and
blew across six lanes to the other
side. The highway was closed
Thursday night.
Evacuations were ordered in
the area near the Camp Pendleton
Marine Corps Base and schools and
casinos were being used as shelters.
Jim Peratt was in Las Vegas on
business when his wife called and
said she was rounding up their two
horses and evacuating their prop-
erty in Bonsall, a community of
4,000 amid the rolling hills of rural
San Diego County.
“She saw nothing but smoke and
flames all around,” Peratt said. “I’m
praying I’ll have a home when I get
back.”

Thursday in Fallbrook, Calif. The wind-swept blazes have forced tens of thousands of evacuations and
destroyed dozens of homes in Southern California.
“I don’t know how
many are living and
how many are dead.”
—Mac McBride,
Thoroughbred trainer on his
string of horses at San Luis Rey
elite San Luis Rey Downs training
facility for thoroughbreds, many of
the more than 450 horses were cut
loose to prevent them from being
trapped in their stables if barns
caught fire, said Mac McBride of
the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
Horse trainer Scott Hansen said
he knows that some of his 30 horses
at the facility died.
“I don’t know how many are
living and how many are dead,” he
said. “I guess I’ll have to figure that
out in the morning.”
Most of the horses were saved,
McBride said, and were being
loaded to go to the Del Mar Fair-
grounds.
Some ranchers posted urgent
pleas on Twitter for help moving
horses, including Rawhide Ranch,
well-known for running riding
camps for children.

broke out the day after state offi-
cials sent an unprecedented alert to
cell phones across seven Southern
California counties warning that
strong Santa Ana winds could cause
extreme fire danger. Although
hurricane-force winds predicted did
not materialize, firefighters faced
gusts that fanned flames and put
thousands of homes in jeopardy.
Along the coast between Ventura
and Santa Barbara, tiny beach
communities were under siege as
fire leapt from steep hillsides across
U.S. Highway 101.
“We drove through a wall
of flames,” Wendy Frank said,
describing her ordeal after evac-
uating her horses from Ojai on
Wednesday night. “I didn’t know if
we’d make it. I just put the acceler-
ator down. I know we were going
over 100 mph, we could have been
going much more, and just hoped
for the best.”
Fires flared up Thursday along
the highway, forcing an evacuation
of dozens of homes at Faria Beach.
“Anyone in your homes still, you
need to leave now,” a California
Highway Patrol officer said through
a loudspeaker while driving down a
smoke-shrouded street. “The fire is
here, you need to leave.”
Joseph Ruffner had left earlier in
the week but returned and said he
was staying put this time.
“This morning there was a wall
of fire back right over here,” he
said. “I didn’t think it was no big
deal, but it’s coming back to burn
what it didn’t burn yesterday.”
The highway, which runs the
length of the state and is a major
commuter corridor to Los Angeles,
was closed intermittently along the
28-mile stretch between Ventura
and Santa Barbara.
The Ventura and LA-area fires
have put tens of thousands of
people under evacuation orders and
destroyed nearly 200 homes and
buildings, a figure almost certain to
rise.
A woman was found dead in a
wrecked car in an evacuation zone
near the city of Santa Paula, where
the Ventura County blaze began
Monday night, but officials could
not immediately say whether the
accident was fire-related.
The massive fire threatened Ojai,
a scenic mountain town dubbed
“Shangri-La” and known for its
boutique hotels and New Age spiri-
tual retreats.
Most of Ojai’s 7,000 residents
were warned to clear out late
Wednesday and patients unable
to walk were moved from the
Ojai Valley Community Hospital
because of unprecedented, hurri-
cane-force Santa Ana winds in the
overnight forecast.
Ash fell like snowflakes on citrus
orchards scattered around town
and on Spanish-style architecture
as firefighters parked their trucks
around houses in anticipation of
winds picking back up.
Some businesses were closed,
but staples could be found at Pat’s
Liquor, where Hank Cheyne-Garcia
loaded up with supplies to fuel
through another edgy night keeping
sentry on the fire.
“It got a little too intense
yesterday with the wind kicking
up,” he said. “There was just
so much smoke. Yesterday you
couldn’t see the street.”
