Have you ever stood in the middle of 100 acres ? I'm guessing not. It's a very large area and if it's on fire it's SCARY !!! Especially if you are at home and surrounded by a fire. Maybe this will put it into perspective:

So think about standing in one of those places and then surrounding yourself with fire.

The short answer is yes and yes...

Yes, I have stood in the middle of Oklahoma while growing up, way more than 100 acres. We did it while chasing storms while I was at OU in 1971, way before it became trendy.

Yes we evacuated Harbison Canyon during the Cedar fire in San Diego and drove through flames, embers and smoke. We watched people with livestock trailers drive through fences to get to I-8 because the exits were jammed. It was one of the biggest wildfires there. We lost our place in that fire.
