"I survived the Hurst fire" is something that I will say for years to come, even though I technically didn't "survive" in the sense that the fire actually came into the neighborhood. It was more like it was near, but they still evacuated us just to be on the safe side. And I don't want to be one of those people, because I know that the other fires were actually very dangerous and people's homes and cities were destroyed. But still. I survived the Hurst fire (technically).
