About 9 p.m., police and firefighters were knocking on doors along Dundee Drive, crowded with police vehicles and firetrucks, looking for stragglers hesitant to leave their homes. They escorted one elderly couple out of their house and loaded them into a police SUV.
The night sky was filled with embers and ash as flames danced on a nearby ridgetop above the neighborhood. Winds continued to push the blaze down toward the homes.
‘Come on, come on, you gotta go,’ authorities said as they walked up and down the street.
