Your home is on fire. Grab five items (assume all people and animals are safe). What did you grab?
In the Sydney bush fires of 1994 I had to do consider this in real life. All main highways into Sydney were cut off by bush fires and we lived on the northern end of the city. We overlooked a major bush gully that hadn’t had a bush fire through in 30 years so officials were very worried about what would happen if it caught alight.
My life has changed greatly since 1994 so what I would pack today is different to what I packed them although core items are the same. In 2015 my choices are:
- Formal documents that are difficult/unable to be replaced including passports, insurances, special awards, medical information.
- Camera bag which includes the USB’s of digital photos.
- My handbag which contains mobile phone, wallet, keys and other everyday essentials.
- My prepacked overnight bag containing a change of clothes, toiletries and sleeping device to make a difficult situation easier.
- My laptop and associated hard drives which hopefully will give me access to everything I want.

We are aware of this we were given 15 to move our motor home and car as the firemen were going to start backfires. I gave .y keys and pures and Kato, our cat and move the car. Bob dropped the hookups on the ground and drove the motor home to a safe place. You added a few items I have not thought of. Here is this building we have a plan. I grab my purse and Bob grabs Kato. The last time he wasn’t around so I got both and I couldn’t take my walkeror coat.

It scary how quick it happens. Some places seem to always get them too I don’r know how they do it.
Every summer there are fires in Idaho. It seems like the last 3 almost all of the state burned. That is why Boise was selected for the fire academy.
The more support they have for fire prone areas the less lose of life. Education is a key point.
