This is what'cha do in a fast moving fire. You grab whatever you can, load livestock in & get them out of there. THAT is the important thing...not how they're delivered to the evac location.

Whether it's chicks/ducks, sheep, calves to evac but all rescue groups are busy? If you have a pickup, van or even a car you can get them to safety this way... I swear! #Usewhatyouhave

In the urgency of fires, there's a lot of pressure. You already know what you need. Documents, passports, vax cards, cash, clothes etc. But what really are the essentials to you. The things that matter most.

I know it's overwhelming so close your eyes, clear your mind & ask what's really important. You'll be surprised what pops to mind.

If there's time take quick vids of all rooms in home. Open drawers/closets. Mention any upgrades. Do the outside of home, all sides. Don't forget sheds/garage take pics/vids there too. Outdoor patio stuff.

Include a quick overview of whatever you have in your sheds or garages, 4 wheelers, patio furniture, BBQ grill, landscaping. Quick vid covering it all.

This is for insurance should you need it. You'll have it documented.

For those who'll be needing this. Remember evac livestock early. Don't wait to be told... less stress for the animals/horses.
