In a neighborhood still smoldering, residents on Tuesday returned to Anaheim Hills to take stock of their losses after a vicious brush fire destroyed more than a dozen structures.
More than 5,000 homes were evacuated Monday as fire crews struggled to battle a rapidly growing brush fire, dubbed Canyon Fire 2, that was estimated at 7,500 acres on Tuesday afternoon. Evacuation orders remained in place Tuesday. Dozens of structures have been destroyed and as many as 5,000 homes are still in danger.
"Horrible, horrible loss," said Joe Salcedo. "You can't imagine how much damage was done by this fire."
Bruce and Teri Lux got out just in time Monday and watched TV news as their house was engulfed in flames.
"It's tough to see your house go up in flames, especially when you've lived here for 20 years," Bruce said.
It was the home where they raised their two children and where they hosted countless Little League parties and other events for their friends and neighbors.
"It's like a community-oriented neighborhood and a lot of good people and we fortunate to have these kinds of friends."
No one was home when the fire started. It was too dangerous for them to get to their home Monday, so they weren't able to save anything inside. They are grateful to neighbors who rescued their two dogs.
