I live in a heavily forested area on a 160 acre property which is quite isolated. I have endured three years of evacuation orders in which I have refused to leave. I have cleared a substantial buffer zone around my home. And have sprinklers on my roof. I also have water storage on the property. When the fires get close I soak my entire lawn area down, test my pumps,( I have a back up) and then start cleaning up any windfall that may have come down recently. In the past when homes are evacuated the police have actually broken into homes and confiscated firearms under the guise of "protecting people from looters". No one in my area evacuates and we look after each other. WE must get back to neighbours looking out for neighbours and realize that government rarely helps in these situations. It has been said that God helps those who help themselves. That old adage is timeless.
I agree with everything you said and the soaking and water storage to fight a fire is simply mandatory. Caveman knew this thousands of years ago. In my state I have a concealed weapon carry permit, no messing around with me!

I am jealous. The communists up here in Canada have totally banned sidearms. It still won't stop us from resisting.
Man after my own heart. Wish I had your arrangement.
