When I visited Dick, he showed me a sprinkler system (operated by gravity, not pump) he had built around his house. We can hope, although he might have been evacuated (as I was once with no damage to my home), he'll be safe and his ability to foresee fires and build the sprinkler system has protected him.

Fellow list members,
I've been trying for a few days to reach our dear friend and colleague Dick at his home and cell phone numbers. At present, his home number produces a recording that it's out of service. I've left him voicemail on his cell and hope to hear from him when he has a chance.
The Eagle fire in his home area is mostly contained but the maps I can find suggests that his home falls into the burn area, so all we can do is keep Dick and Nancy in our best thoughts and hope for the best as we wait to hear from him.
I will keep you posted.

This is our Dick B. He lives in the CA desert of Temecula east of Los Angeles, and it's covered with Scrub Brush and Trees. It's Desert by climate only. I've asked one of our Southern CA members to see if he can contact Dick, as he's the one who's always done it in the past. He had already tried several times, but their phone just rings, so we're assuming they've been evacuated. I have their Cell Phone Number as they visited this past fall, so I've asked Chris to give them a call and update us all, so that Dick's not getting phone calls from half the list, as I know his family is scattered across the west and I'm sure they're trying to keep in touch with him.
So stay tuned, as soon as we reach him, we'll post a message to this list to let everyone know......
Keep Dick and Nancy in your thoughts as it's most definitely in their back yard!
