My sister finally returned my call this afternoon---the fire was closer than I thought---right near the old Cottage St School. She lives two blocks east of Newport Ave and they evacuated everyone west of there. They were packed and ready to go if the fire spread any farther. The cars and the back yard are covered in soot and sooty water drops---the wind carried water from the fire all the way to her yard.
