Yes, I usually go out in the morning, ride up and down the streets, make sure everyone is ready, make sure everyone has water. I grew up out here since I was young, born and raised, and I don't know these streets. Everyone needs to get out. But I was still there. The next thing you know, it was cherry red next to us. Then the nephew came. I was saying let's get up here and start putting water in the houses. So we started to thresh the house next door. Suddenly, the fire brigade came. And luckily, between the five of us, we were able to pull it off. I am one of the lucky ones, but it's the neighbors, man. It's like, this is great. How are we guys? They blocked everything, and that's when they talked to us — “Oh, you can't go out or come in anymore.” All they did was let us know, if you cross the line, you can't come back. They talk a lot about that. We got our burner there. We will make coffee right now. We have a few generators if we need them. Our children, our family, our nieces and nephews. Everyone comes to us. I think around 12, it gets really dark here. So at night, I come here at midnight, tie myself up, go upstairs, sit on the chair and watch the torches. At that point, he calls the sheriff, tells them to come out and look for it. All you can do is shut everything down and just pray.
