Many thanks to Fire Chief Dan Ghiorso of the Woodside Fire Protection District and the 71 firefighters from 7 agencies who successfully contained the fire on Bear Gulch Road. It is tragic that one home was completely destroyed. But it is almost a miracle that the fire did not spread to many more homes on the hill and to the surrounding forest. This is a tribute to the intelligent, determined and well-executed work of our local team of professionals. As home owners on Bear Gulch, my husband and I sincerely appreciate the work done by the firefighters. We are lucky to have all of you on the job!
