Hoss get the wagon. Little Joe, grab your gray jacket. Adam. Adam, where the fuuck is Adam? Forget Adam. Rescue Hop-Sing. At least he can cook.

Hope you don't lose too much if it hits.
Why not drive the vehicles out or are you mentioning "toys"? Thanks. These are all toys. Side by side, couple of dirt bikes, a sherp. We pumped the fuel out of the tractor because driving it is “boring”. It’ll all be in a metal clad building that has an expandable graphite underlayment so it should make it through. I’ll be driving the camper and my wife her 4Runner. My beat up old taco will ride it out in the barn. If so this will be the second fire it made it through.

What happens usually, CalFire will take over command of the fire as it approaches areas with lots of structures. And say what you will about CalFire...but they can fight fire, unlike the totally dysfunctional USFS feminist dominated command structure. USFS has political commissars in fire camp...you will not wear wife beater T shirts (ask me how I know). Biologists, on staff, archaeologists on staff, many more academic disciplines on staff. For every tired, filthy dirty, sweat streaked firefighter that unloads at camp after dark, there are two immaculately and stylishly dressed, usually feminine (originally anyway) without a speck of dirt on them or their govt issue suv's. I am 4 miles from a USFS camp that has been going for the last 5 weeks, and they drive right by my house daily.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Cal Fire is in Unified Command with the Forest Circus and they defer to CalFire for structure protection. The Forest Circus Managed the Station Fire in 2009 that eventually killed a friend of mine at Fire Camp 16. It started in an Initial Action Zone with L.A. County. They didn't want County assets, too expensive. They didn't want our copters flying at night in spite of being fully qualified and experienced at night ops firefighting. They actually waited until the next morning to request L.A. County for structure protection. By then the fire had a running start and it was catch up after that. There was a lot of bad blood between the Forest Circus and my department. It took a big sit down between the 2 agencies to settle things down but their are still plenty that remember their blunder that day. Today is the 12th anniversary of the loss of Camp 16 and Captain Ted Hall and Crew Foreman Arnie Quinones.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
Stupid always finds a way.

All the real fire breathers and LEOs spoke before she did. All she could spew was what a wonderful Cumbiah the Lake Tahoe Basin Interagency team was doing and how well they all play patty cake as FoX40 was looping peoples houses burning to the ground in side by side frame. LOL Wife screamed get the F off the podium Lesbian Bish at the TV.

Was last there in the mid 90's but I'd suspect that there's been a lot of vacation type homes built up amongst the timber and trees. Well, maybe this will get the state more involved in managing and conducting prescribed burning.
