[DeTomaso] Nor-Cal Pantera fire update :<(

[Garth Rodericks]

<< But fire evacuation is an entirely different story. We are about to undertake a drill where she has to push some Sciroccos into the street and motorcycles out of the way to get her Pantera out of the garage--prepared to evacuate if I'm not around (which is more often than not). You don't want to be thinking about that sort of thing for the first time when flames are licking against your fences!>>
As far as preparedness goes, when my children were young (and up until they moved out) we would do a home fire drill at least once per year.  The kids had been trained how to check a door for heat, indicating fire on the other side, how to stay low and use a wet rag/shirt/etc. to avoid inhaling smoke, how to get out of the house safely.  Each room upstairs has an emergency ladder that can be dropped from a window, and we had a designated meeting place at a neighbor's house.
Something to consider if you have children at home.
Praying for our brothers and sisters being impacted by the fires.
Cheers!Garth
