Agreed. EVAC while you can….ahead of everyone so you get to the resources you need. Like a place to stay. [not the shelter] I keep enough camping stuff permanently in my truck to have a campsite. Fairgrounds if I’m bringing out livestock animals.
I’d just have to add food…which I’d bring from my house if I had the time. If not, the first bags to go over the railing and land near the truck would have some E-food anyway. I always park front-end-pointing-out. Habit. Given time, there are more things just inside the garage to be able to camp along side the road [out of danger zone] if I couldn’t get any further.
Here’s a wildfire EVAC question: If you have spare [filled] gas containers….and it won’t fit into your already-filled gas tanks….what do you do with them?
Obviously get them away from your house/bldgs. But do you take them out with you? Depending on the situation…Paradise for sure….it would be an awful risk. Other times, it would not be and would get you further from the whole messy area without stopping for gas.
OldMtWoman ….still gives me goosebumps to think of wildfire
