The Pan Head is at work.... I will bring the Decker in tomorrow and take the Company Van home. That way I can take my Truck and cut and run if needed.

Man best wishes to you, lost a house to a fire during an ice storm can't imagine the mind *** seeing it coming and the uncertainty. DO NOT linger they say go get busy.

I went through the house today and videotaped all my stuff. Packed up what is important and can get out in 20 minutes from the evacuation notice. But I won’t cut and run until I know I won’t be of any use in the Evacuation. In the picture above you can see it heading east. If it gets down to the valley floor, and sucks the cooler MTN air from the High pass to the west, it can roar down that valley in no time. If that happens the escape route would be to the North.

i fought fire back in the day, I know the warning signs. Like If your *** is on fire you arnt running fast enough.
