wildfire - it focuses your life
(Trailhead fire - google it) blew up 2 days ago - massive air attack has not contained it - crested the last ridge twixt us & evac orders this eve we've been treated to a fine aerial display for 2 days since most of the borate bombers go quite low right over my house (s2s, DC-10, BAe-146) this is one of 2 reasons why my GT is setup to flat tow the RV is cocked & loaded - we can be out'a here in 20 minutes if house survives & the tools don't melt, i'll be thankful enuf . . |

I've been there before! I back a canyon down here in SoCal, and when we had our fires last year, I was quickly trying to figure out if the house burned down with the car in it, would the insurance pay for the car too...
Hopefully you maintained your "defendable zone" around your properly, stay safe! |

Hopefully you maintained your "defendable zone" around your properly, stay safe! I'm pretty sure fire is covered by auto insurance policy. It's something like this that makes me happy I live in (boring) New Jersey. Yeah, the taxes are ridiculous but, other than an occasional hurricane, which mostly damages the shore properties, we don't have catastrophic events like wildfires or earthquakes. Hope you make it okay. Dave |

Good on ya Larry. Experienced the same concerns last year with a big fire in Greenhorn here in Grass Valley not far from you. Met you a few times around here locally. Lots of our local fire planes in the air over you now. Keep the family and car safe. Best wishes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
