I-5 at the Calgrove exit, Newhall, CA. I have about 1,400 feet of my property that borders the I-5 on the downside of a big hill. Every few years someone overheats coming over the hill and they either catch on fire, or overheat and pull over and smoke a butt while they wait for the vehicle to cool off.
It doesn't happen every year, but every 3-4 years. A smallish brush fire when LA County fire isn't stressed with other bigger fires is a good thing. I'm also butt up against about 1,000 acres of state wildlands.
Interesting tidbit, when the water dropping helicopters come in, they get their water from the Disney Golden Oak Ranch a few miles away. I also work for the Mouse, and the asst. Ranch Manager is my Son. He makes sure I'm covered. He's even offered to bring in a 10,000 gallon water tanker and fire pump if needed, which I can tie into my 20,000 gallon swimming pool. He says if the freeway is open he can be here in 15-20 minutes. Sweeeet!
In reality, I know my house will burn to the ground some day, whether I'm living here or not is the question. I'm well fire insured and if I'm home, my wife and I know what to get out of the house, that is valuable to us. Original artwork, family heirlooms, etc.
