If car is in garage, back it out and turn it around so you're heading out. Throw to go gear in. Know how to open garage door manually. [power goes out when poles/lines go down]

Let someone know where you are heading, and text them when you've arrived. Don't call...text. Calls drain batteries quickly.

If there's time take pics or quick vids of all rooms in home. Include drawers/closets. Any upgrades. If safe..do the outside of home, all sides. Don't forget sheds/garage take pics/vids there too. Outdoor patio stuff.

Sup boards, jet skis, bikes, 4 wheelers...patio furniture BBQ.

All of this is for insurance should you need it. You'll have it documented.

Warned area -
Check the gas in your car. If you need some, nows the time to get it. You may hit traffic & you don't want to run out.

#GlassFire #BoysenFire #ShadyFire

Have your pets ready to go. ALWAYS put them in a carrier/crate if you have'm. Even the most placid pet will bolt from your arms when they smell smoke. Take food, leash, halter..whatever & any meds they need.

If your pets are cats or small dogs, & you don't have a crate. Grab a pillowcase or backpack and put them in there. No they won't be happy but to bad...they'll be safe!

And cash. Don't forget to have some cash on hand. Like I said, bad fires like these will burn thru poles and power lines all over the place and ATMs won't work if there's no power.
