At 9 PM we went back to see what we could see .... did our home survive the day of flames?? We kept hearing reports of entire neighborhoods being burned to the ground by this monster!! |
There are no words to describe how we feel about this ... only those that have "been there" will understand the extent of the loss and the shock of losing it ..... Continue to Page Two to see the photos of our home on Sunday, 26 October 2003!! |
We lost our home, but owe the Firefighters who saved thousands of other homes our deepest gratitude and thanks! Each and everyone of them is a HERO. They put their lives on the line for us every single day and we all owe them .... more than we shall ever be able to repay! |
The San Bernardino Sheriff's Office is looking for two men responsible for lighting a fire which subsequently caused extensive damage and four deaths. Investigators say that on Saturday, October 25, 2003, at about 9:15 a.m., a witness who had stopped in a turnout on state highway 18, reported seeing a gray or white mini-van, parked alongside the road on Old Waterman Canyon Road, which is less than a mile north of the San Bernardino City Limits. Police say that the witness saw the passenger of the van throw something into the brush on the east side of the road, which started a brush fire. This witness described the vehicle as being similar to a 2000 or 2001 Chevrolet Venture with two white male passengers, who are in their early twenties. The eyewitness helped police create a sketch of the driver who is described as having dark color hair. The passenger was described as a thin white male with short blonde hair. After making a u-turn, the suspects fled south on Old Waterman Canyon Road. The fire quickly spread throughout Waterman Canyon and eventually into the city of San Bernardino where numerous buildings were destroyed. Police also say that the arsonists will be charged with at least four counts of murder due to deaths directly related with this fire. |
