In Case Of Fire, What Would You Grab?
I’ve never had a deputy knock on my door and tell me I needed to be prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice because forest fires are
licking all around.
But plenty of people in this area have lately.
It doesn’t take a personal experience to make one consider how he or she would act in such a situation. Leave immediately and take your chances your property won’t be vandalized? Or stick around and fend off the inferno? I like barbecues as well as the next guy, but I think I’d take the first option and just hope the vandals have asthma and wouldn’t want to deal with the smoke. When you’ve got the safe distance to ponder these scenarios, it’s interesting to think about what you’d take with you if you had to leave your home immediately. What to save? What to leave behind?/
