The San Diego Cedar fire in 2003 came within two blocks of our house. We would have lost it all except for the bravery of our neighbor and his water truck. With no help except his two sons they fought the fire all night and saved the while neighborhood. Our warning was 5 minutes so 1348 and my wife's 56 Thunderbird set in the garage. We know a lot of people who lost it all. We were lucky and grateful.
Good luck 1117.
