I hope this helps someone who's been told to prepare for evac. Think of it as a reminders list, so for those being told prep to go? This is for you.

#RadfordFire #SnowSummit #BigBearLake #SanBernardinoCounty

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...

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.

I hope the nets stays on awhile, b/cuz something interesting came out of it. I was looking at the Radford Fire on the web cam, & captured the screen. Over the next 2 hrs, when it came bk on I'd capture the images.

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

#FairviewFire #Hemet #EvacingAnimals

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.
