Endless fires in my area for 20 years. Some very costly, big evacuations and lost homes. I watched a class 5 fire storm explode homes like balls of paper in a campfire, flames hundreds of feet high, created it's own storm and rained on itself. Most the last few years started by climate change terrorists. I just finished packing, now we wait to see how bad this one gets.

I have lived in a wildfire area over 20 years, they tried to evacuate us three times. Went the first time, declined to go the second, and the blocked us in with fire trucks, the third. We have go bags setup and document backups set. Some preparations makes it easier. We keep the trees trimmed and the brush cut down to help. We redid our roof with foam instead of tar. It is beautiful around here, but the end of summer always makes us nervous. Good luck

Thanks. It's growing fast and the wind is blowing harder. Personally I'm not concerned over my house, that's what insurance is for and out of my hands.

Rainy season followed by landslide season followed by dry season then fire season.

Seeing all these fires has made me wonder if home owners should start doing controlled burns. Have you ever considered it?

Not allowed in my area, some neighbors rent a goat herd to clear their land and illegally let them graze on the public land around our area. I'm all good with that.
