I don’t know where you are in Texas, but a huge grass fire came within a half mile of my place last year and I was loading my pick-up with everything I could think of in case we had to evacuate. Didn’t have to leave but it makes you think.
Are you in an area where you could use mowing machines to cut the flames height down? Could you cut the vegetation down to two inches 300 feet from the homes?
Good point.
Our county has had over 1000 fire calls this summer already.
But with an evacuation does one actually need survival gear (guns, ammo, rations, filters, barter, etc) or grab all the irreplaceables (like with an impending hurricane) and hope for the best.
