Hanta Yo and crew...
Glad to hear the cold front slowed your fire. Hopefully it gives you a hand up to get the fire more under control.
I can totally sympathize with you...two years ago we were in the same predictament you are in almost every day for more than three weeks. If we learned nothing else from our fire experience, we now have a list of things we'd take in an emergency, and we know where they are. Important docs, what is personally important to each of us, etc. I hope everyone sits down and thinks about putting this list together. In 5 minutes, I was able alone to get everything on the list of the house. It included lots of artwork, and some other big things, but because we were prepared, it was relatively easy.
Lazy ace and his brother are now out fighting fire at our neighbors. It is a stack fire, but the wind is blowing over 50 mph here and it must be over 90 degrees right now. Containing it to the stack in a monumental challenge. They are not dealing with anything close to what you are, but if the fire leaves the stackyard, our little community will be.
You are in our thoughts and prayers...hang tough, but be smart too. Remember human life is more valuable than all else. Looking back we did some really dumb things in our big fire two years ago, trying to find and save cows. We didn't lose any livestock, and nobody got hurt, but easily we could have been.
Take care,
TTB :wink:
PS Hanta...I don't think you'll have to light any candles Tuesday
