They soon realized it was ash from an approaching wildfire. “We just grabbed stuff like computers and my mom’s jewelry and left,” he remembers. “We had to drive on the wrong side of the road because the other side was covered in flames.” The Cross family was lucky: Their house was one of the few in the area that was spared. Cross, 38, still lives in the San Diego area with his wife and 7- and 9-year-old daughters.
