Residents whose homes survived the blaze count their blessings while acknowledging their canyon neighbors’ losses.
Katie Kivett was relieved that the home where she, her parents and four brothers live in the rural, rocky canyon just minutes east of Hemet survived the Fairview fire, but like other neighbors who have returned to good news, her thoughts were also with those who were left to literally pick up the pieces.
Fairview Fire burned parts of Bill and Michelle Nealeigh’s property but not their home or garage as share a laugh outside the motorhome with their dogs Wattson and Elsie in Hemet on Monday, September 12, 2022. The heavy rains Sunday evening added to the woes in Avery Canyon and other areas affected by the fire. Mud overflowed a creek, and with the flames having killed off the vegetation that helps hold hillsides together, the ooze cascaded down hillsides. Monday morning, road crews scraped much of the muck off the twisty, two-lane road.
For 21 years, they have lived on the eight acres on a hillside near the top of Gibbel, between one sign warning of a deer crossing and another advising that the pavement is ending. They enjoy the open spaces and views of the canyon and yet, Bill noted, it’s only nine minutes to Lowe’s.
