It is called the GlassFire, and it raged through Saint Helena and part of the Napa Valley over the last few days, causing Adventists to worry about the safety of one of the most iconic historic landmarks in Adventism—Elmshaven. Elmshaven is the previous west coast home of Ellen G. White..
Elmshaven was spared. Sadly, the Foothills SDA Elementary School was not. It burned to the ground yesterday. There was no loss of life.
Foothills SDA Elementary School:
The Glass Fire ignited in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, just east of the Napa Valley. High winds fueled its “dangerous rate of spread,” Cal Fire officials said, despite being battled by more than 1,000 firemen. The Glass Fire, along with the nearby Boysen and Shady fires, combined to threaten thousands of homes from Santa Rosa in Sonoma County to St. Helena and Calistoga in Napa County. It was unclear Monday how the fire started.
