Imagine having to evacuate from a fast-moving wildfire.
Now imagine just having had major surgery.
Now imagine being paralyzed from the waist down from an epidural.
Now imagine your ambulance breaks down.
Just WOW.

Speechless. I’ve seen fire devastation up close….but not THAT close. Amazing. Our community has always been great at thanking the folks who come from all over the country to fight the wildfires. We put up signs and hand out cookies and Gatorade. It’s so good for their morale. They can’t even pay for their food in restaurants cuz someone will cover their check. Those folks are doing such a dangerous job.

Old Mt Woman, our community back in California, too. At the grocery store where the firetrucks parked during the King Fire, the Chief had to come into the store and ask them NOT to let the customers buy all the firefighter’s food. So, of course, we then just took them cases of water and snacks and dropped the goodies off with them.
Those people are truly amazing.

This is another one I had not seen. But I am still finding my way around on here. Had a friend that lived where the fires were in CA. He and his wife lost everything they owned. House burned to ground with everything in it. They were preppers. They had what they needed in the truck and car but only had 3 minutes to get out. They lost all their preps and everything other than what they had in the 2 vehicles. They have since moved on and bought a new house near a town. But now say they worked so hard to prep for bad times and to loose it all in a matter of minutes has made them decide they no longer want to prep now. They said they will have food supplies but that will be about it. On a funny note though he sent a picture of a bong which is a dog toy. Very thick plastic or rubber. When they were able to get back to their property to see if they could salvage anything, that toy bong was all that was left. They called the company to tell them about it and said they should be building houses out of it. They sent him 2 big boxes of those dog toys free of charge.
