Fire!

We had a fire today in San Diego that actually caused some evacuations. Here is a map of the fires - it's actually in the canyon between S. Siena and Bullock near the high school (look for the sports fields). There were evacuations for the 600 block of S. Siena and across the street on Bullock.

Those that have been paying attention will note S. Siena St and Woodshawn on the map. We've looked at houses on both of these streets!
