Clear defensible space around property.

Prep to leave even if the orders aren't by you yet. You may have very little time to evac so do it now.

Make a 'to go' bag.

If you have horses, llamas, farm animals get them ready to move. Put trailers nearby. Keep treats handy. Sugar cubes, apples, carrots. Something they like you can use to entice them into the trailers.

To evac sheep/goats/pigs etc? You can fit 4 to 8 in a med sized pickup bed, depending on their size. A mini pony/burro fits in the backseat of a med sized car. Vans work well to evac animals just lay seats down.

Peeps, I want to bring up something that happened today. It will make you realize just how much these firefighters risk protecting you and your communities.

This situation took place on the #DolanFire earlier this afternoon.

#ValleyFire #ElDoradoFire #ForkFire #BobcatFire.
A group of firefighters became trapped. With no other viable option they were told to deploy shelters. That's something you never hear...nor do you ever want to. [think Granite Mnt Men].

#ValleyFire #ElDoradoFire #ForkFire #BobcatFire.
Some did suffer injures and/or smoke inhalation so I want all of you to understand what they went thru & what they may face being a firefighter. #CalFire

For those of you in towns. Prep now & place by door. Park your car so it's facing out to the street. [you toss in & go] Keep cell on for any new alerts b/c all it takes is just 1 spark. Alert elderly neighbors [they may not know].

#ValleyFire, #ElDoradoFire, #BobcatFire.
Gather pet gear. Carrier, leash, food, meds? Put them in their carrier before opening the door. All animals smell danger & want to flee so even the more placid of pets will bolt out of your arms, if they smell smoke.
#ValleyFire, #ElDoradoFire, #BobcatFire.
If no carrier...no problem. Grab a backpack, a pillowcase & stuff them in. No they won't like it but to bad. They can yell at you while you drive away. Cover birdcage & shove in car.

#ValleyFire 🔥SHELTER IN PLACE per @CalFire if unable to evacuate bc of fire blocking road. #Fire in Carveacre Rd & Japutal Rd in #Alpine area. Call 911 if need emergency #evacuation assistance. Follow @SDSheriff @CALFIRESANDIEGO & @ClevelandNF (thread)
If you must SIP, put wet towels under doors, close all windows & fireplace damper, & if you have time, get on roof & cover vents. Before fire approaches, turn off gas at meter, fill trash cans/buckets/tub w/water, wet down roof and vegetation (thread...)
Turn on your house & solar lights. Breathe in 3, hold 2, out 3, repeat to remain calm. Bring flammables from yard-umbrellas, etc-inside house; only move things like cans of gas away from house if you can get them far from homes. Wear N95mask or use vacuumbag as filter for mask...

@LindaLindae9 @whothewu @AlexCKaufman @arendtiana @RoKhanna Yes, u have very good point, & I thank u for concern/advice. 👍🏻
Im lifelong Californian, but lived in San Jose (city of 1+ million in south Bay Area/Silicon Valley) so hadnt lived w/ this kinda threat being so profound be4. June 2015 we bought home in Lake County, 100mi north. 1/
@LindaLindae9 @whothewu @AlexCKaufman @arendtiana @RoKhanna Lake County is a smaller more remote rural lakeside community. Its experienced wildfires before, but they were normal & manageable. Then 3 months after we moved here the 1st of these new mega-fires hit the area. (#ValleyFire which devastated city of Middletown in southern LC.) 2/
@LindaLindae9 @whothewu @AlexCKaufman @arendtiana @RoKhanna That was our 1st experience w/ wildfire being close 2 where we lived. But it was still far enough away that didnt pose any danger to us where we live -- in Lakeport, on western shore of Clear Lake -- in middle of developed city, not out in/near wildland like some here.
