FireFighters Save Rafael Furcal’s Home

Los Angeles shortstop Rafael Furcal wasn’t at Dodger Stadium for last night’s game against Arizona, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Furcal and his wife were forced to evacuate their home which was in direct threat of the raging wild fires.

As of last evening the Station Fire was approaching his Flintridge neighborhood, but miraculously firefighters were able to save his home as the blaze tore through the neighborhood.

A relieved Furcal and his wife were able to return to the home, after staying in a nearby hotel for a few hours.

Juan Castro started at shortstop on Monday night in his place for the Dodgers.

According to Cnn.com, cooler temperatures Tuesday could help firefighters slow down a fast-moving, deadly wildfire that has charred more than 105,000 acres in Southern California.
