They lived about a half-mile apart, but they didn't meet until they both stayed at the same evacuation center.
Over time, they fell in love. Now, they're engaged.
"My life got better when I met her," Warren said.

"He got down on his knee. I was just overwhelmed with all the love and positive vibes," Schlump said.
The couple is from the town of Pollock Pines, which has a population of just 7,000 people.
They say they were meant for each other.
