Now nine days after the fire, residents of Hidden Valley Lake and Middletown are returning, some to sort through rubble in hopes of finding anything left unburned. We're saying a prayer for everyone affected and encouraging folks to give to this campaign at this crucial time.

From a victim: "My home on Donkey Hill Rd [Hidden Valley Lake] was completely destroyed. Myself and tenant had to leave while watching the front of the house being consumed with fire. In minutes it had gotten out of control and had no time to gather anything except the dog. She worked out of the house and lost everything she needs to run her business. "
