Richard Lemke is still hoping his home will make it through this ongoing disaster.
"Embers were landing in the Palm trees. I put some of those out," said Lemke.
"(We've) got a way to go, you never know."
Water access has been worrisome for Lemke and those on the frontlines.
"We were running around with the hoses, and it was enough to keep the embers down. Then all of a sudden, the water was off," said Lemke.
The next steps for Lemke and other homeowners are uncertain as flames rage on.
