Great information Raul. Thank you. That was my question throughout, Jeanne. Why so long? They arrived with apologies and “Hay fuegos en todos lados”. I double checked on where they’d come from and yes, it was confirmed, “Melaque”.
Honestly, after nearly 4 hours since the first calls for help, I was surprised to see them when they did arrive.
2 capable, bright, eager and able bodied men, fully equipped. As I wrote earlier, they prevented the fires from continuing on to other’ homes and property beyond our property. Much more could have been prevented if they’d come hrs earlier. Clearly more resources and man power is needed.
