My wife and I are making piles of those things we would take with us if the evacuation order comes-- things the kids made for you when they were little--like that. The fires are still 5-10 miles away, but if the wind shifts, you don't have much time to spend wandering around, wondering what can't be replaced. No way I could round up all my Lotus parts and move them and the car, --stuff, so we do what we can.
Fire departments from as far away as California are here, and the realization that these young men, in a sense, ordinary people, are willing to go to the lengths they are to save the lives and property of strangers, is humbling, and an antidote for the cynicism of the day.
Please say a prayer for their safety as they strive to protect ours.
