In South Lake, more than 100 mobile home trailers and houses were burned to the ground in a 1-square-mile area. “It’s the place you’d go to get coffee, fishing tips and the latest gossip,” said South Lake resident Louis Reyes. Two people were killed and fire officials discovered what they believe are human remains in a burned-out mobile home in South Lake. His mother eventually moved to South Lake and Reyes would drive from Azusa to visit her. The recovery will be tough, but if South Lake residents have anything going for them, it’s a tendency to look out for each other, said Robert Moran, 73, a retired roofer who saved up enough money to buy property in South Lake 16 years ago.
