FALLBROOK , Calif — The Garden Fire was a stark reminder of the devastating 2017 Lilac Fire .It destroyed 114 homes and damaged 55 others, and happened just northeast of Friday's fire.Next December marks seven years since the Lilac Fire ripped through Bonsall , bursting out of control after sparking during Santa Ana winds.Friday, thankfully, was a much different story as crews were able to get control of the Garden Fire much faster.
Friday’s fire started just hours after the red flag warning had expired; by comparison, the Lilac started seven days into a Santa Ana wind event, scorching everything in its path.Though the fire was seven years ago, it's never out of mind for fire crews.'It very much starts running through all of our heads here that we’re part of that incident, and many other incidents like it, where, here we go again,' says Bradshaw.
