Those fires were very localized. Despite the television coverage you
may have seen, and the impression you may have gotten, relatively few
people were "unable to escape." And most of these deaths happened in
the first full day of the fire, Sunday, when many had been ignoring
warnings.

I know the areas, having hiking in the Stonewall Jackson Peak area in
the 1950s and having lived in and around San Diego later. Also, my
parents lived in the 70s and 80s not far from the Simi Valley area
where the fires were big events later in the week (around
Valencia/Canyon Country/etc.)

By "truly serious disaster," we mean widespread evaculations, not just
telling a particular street or couple of streets to leave.
