The fires in Maui pushed one Rancho Peñasquitos woman's daughter to the ocean, where she sought refuge for eight hours.
“Kind of out of the blue she said, ‘We smell smoke,’” recalled Simmons. “Literally by the time they left the road there were trees falling and on fire.”
Simmons found out hours later, the fire pushed Isabella and her partner’s family to the ocean. She said they all jumped in the water for eight hours. “They were all hanging on a palm frond is what kind of kept them together,” Simmons said. “That was the only option they had.” Adding to her stress, Simmons also manages reservations for vacation homes in Maui. She said four of their properties were destroyed and hundreds of clients evacuated.She said no one has reported getting hurt. Simmons said between Isabella and her clients, her vacation rental company has fielded 15,000 phone calls in four days.Simmons said Isabella and her partner are expected to arrive safely in San Diego Monday night.
