NOW SHES SEEING WHATS LEFT OF HER CHILDHOOD HOME THROUGH FACETIME. OFFICIALS SAY THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A HEATER THAT WAS PLUGGED IN OVERNIGHT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYBODYS GRATEFUL, FEELING A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS. AND LIKE I SAID, WERE NOT FACING CHALLENGES LIKE WILDFIRES STILL GOING.

AND THAT WILL ALSO HELP MY FAMILY FEEL BETTER. BAEZA SAYS HER FAMILY HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND GLAD EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GE
