Did you miss the part where it says the family lived up the hill, apparently some distance from the fire? The part where firemen ordered them to leave immediately?

From another article:

Two workers who spoke with Eyewitness News said the smell of smoke woke them up around 4 a.m. They ran to the barns and saw the roofs were on fire.

The ranch staff said they wanted to open the barn doors so the horses could escape, but the fire had become too intense. Nearly 40 of those horses burned to death, but about six were rescued.

But sure, a cowboy would have gotten all those stalls open with the barn burning around him and strung them all behind his truck and saved them all.

There was a story here a couple weeks ago. A homeless couple were living in a camper. A fire started. Both were out and safe. But their two dogs were trapped inside. The man went in to rescue them. He burned to death. Maybe if he'd been a cowboy those dogs would have survived, though, I guess.

And then there is the fact that those idiots knew GD well that fire was headed their way for some time, maybe a day or two, before it arrived.

Dont piss on me and claim its raining. Those people are ignorant and idiots.

No sane person would sit there and wait for a disaster to fall down around their heads. Its the same for those who ride out storms around FL and the Gulf coast.
