Part 2

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.
#MillFire #Weed #Siskiyou #NorCal
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.

#MillFire #Weed #Siskiyou #NorCal
The teddy bear you slept with as a child.
The necklace your mom wore on their wedding day
Your dads favorite watch

#MillFire #Weed #Siskiyou #NorCal
Maybe its the last quilt grandma made.
The baby shoes from your kid's 1st steps.
The collar a beloved pet wore before they passed.
The passed down family bible
#MillFire #Weed #Siskiyou #NorCal
Handed down [great grandma? grandma] recipe cards
Great Grand dads musket

Whatever your heart & thoughts tell you - those are the essentials & irreplaceable. Those are what you take.

For those who'll be told to evac soon, here's some help of what to take.

Prep to go...
Charge cell phones, pack chargers
Include power pack/solar charger [if you have 1]
Pets! Take your pets
Gather meds, insurance papers, passport, vax cards...

#FairviewFire #Hemet #Riverside
If car is in garage, back it out & turn it around so you're heading out. Know how to open garage door manually. [power goes out when poles/lines go down] So know how to open it yourself. Throw in "to go" gear.

#FairviewFire #Hemet #Riverside
Have your pets ready to go. ALWAYS put them in a carrier/crate if you have'm never carry. Even the most placid pet will bolt when they smell smoke. Take food, leash/halter, bed/bankie, comfort toy & their meds.

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.
#FairviewFire #Hemet
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

Whether it's a van, a pickup....it doesn't matter. What matters is getting them out.

But I can't say it's been a dull weekend. I pupper sat most of the day since the girls were at the state fair. Imagine my surprise when I got a text at 3 [something] a.m. asking if I could come help catch Holley. Errr...what? So off I went.
Show of hands - who's chased a dog who's chasing a opossum in the middle of the night? Especially since the opossum ran into the neighbors garage b/c he'd left the back door open? So now we have a barking dog, & a snarling, hissing opossum who's parked up on a cabinet. 🙄
And of course Holley is beside herself so she's running around knocking things over, she even crawled under the car to avoid being caught. In the midst of this the neighbor came out and said, what'cha doing? We explained, he saw the opossum said, oh ok, & went back to bed.

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.
#MillFire #Weed #Siskiyou #NorCal
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.
