What the out-of-staters do not realize is that the Fire Department issues mandatory evacuation orders. The reason is that they do not want people running up to them asking for help when they are trying to save an entire subdivision. The fire department needs the freedom to determine which homes should be saved and which ones are not logistically worth saving. The goal is to keep the total number of homes lost low. Can you imagine someone running up to a fire engine asking for help because her better half was now trapped in their home. Hey, he only wanted to keep posting about the coming fire on the internet. The key stat is the number of homes lost verses the number of lives lost. Out here, the land and the people are important. Homes come and go.
