Latest news is that my brother's neighbor was able to sneak past the police barrier on his bike and check on houses. My brother's house was untouched. The fire seems to have gone up the backside of the ridge behind his house, got to the top and jumped across his house to the other side of the valley and burn that side up.
Basically he was on the lee side of the hill and protected by it. Fire likes to burn uphill, not downhill.
Damn lucky. It's an ashtray all around his place now.
He has no idea when he will be allowed back to see for himself.
