Kevin Hachac’s son Rowan was just born when the Holy fire tore through the Horsethief neighborhood in Lake Elsinore in August. Now, with the threat of mud slides in those burn areas he’s leaving him with his dad as he gets ready to go to work.

“We can’t move every time. Rain happens so we’re taking a risk as of now,” said Hachac.

The Hachacs moved into their house just a week before the devastating fire, and even though the neighborhood has an evacuation notice, they say they think they’ll be fine -- just carrying on with business as usual.

“I’m going to stay, but I’m thinking it’s safe,” says Kevin’s father Alberto Hachac.

The view from the Hachac’s backyard shows the steep elevation and just how burned those 23,000 acres still are.

Their neighbor, Homer Sanchez has been preparing his house since the last mudslide threat in December. He was evacuated and says the threat of mudslides here is no joke.

“It always worries me every time it rains, because you never know. Just pray that it doesn’t happen,” says Sanchez.

He’s debating whether or not to evacuate with this latest storm but the effects of that fire are clearly still fresh in he and his neighbor’s minds.

“I was worried that we were going to come back without a house. That’s how scary it was,” Sanchez says.

The Holy fire might be long since extinguished, but its aftermath continues to linger on.
