Six people have died from fire-related causes since fires broke out on Sunday morning, county officials said Wednesday.
Of the total, only one person died from burns. Thomas James Varshock, 52, of Tecate, died on his property during the Harris Fire on Sunday, Oct. 21. This is the fire that is in South San Diego that would affect the Martinez family. We are continuing to monitor what the fire department is doing out there.
Another note, my cousin Char was down here with her family this past weekend and we desparately were trying to get her a hotel room for her to stay in. I come to find out that besides the fact that the majority of San Diego was being evacuated and people were looking for rooms, there is a large Doctor convention in town this week. Well do to the fact that not until yesterday the news began to spread nation-wide the hotels were holding reservations and not allowing thousands of evacuees get those rooms. I guess that will be something that will be worked on for the next time the fires come around.
Anyway, I'll be back to update with more info later... I have to go provide my taxi services. =)
Here is a pic of the Bonita fire that was close to my house!
