Rikki, years ago when Florida was having heavy fires I was caught, with my motorhome, in a Smoke Fog, it was frightening. Could only see a few feet ahead of us. A short time later the horizon was filled with flames, I had never seen anything like that. I wrote his just to say that I can feel some of what you are being forced to endure. It is times like this when we begin to realize how small we are; how unimportant our everyday problems are.
Rikki, I just learned about the fires today, I wish you and your family safety.
I would be interested in hearing if this very difficult period has taught you something.

Hi John,
That sounds horrendous.
Basically feel reasonably safe where we are. We don’t have forests and bushland near us, only the dry grasslands. I think grass fires are easier to control than the fires in the forests.
About the only thing one can learn is, if the firefighters knock on your door and tell you to leave, you do it. Not worth risking ones life for house and possessions.
Grab the pets, important papers, my USB stick, a couple of bits and pieces and go.
Just hope for the best.
