Things can be replaced, lives can’t. Just make sure you and the family are safe. Good luck @op

Can anyone propose a realistic solution if given 2 days of time to defend your house?
TeishaTaisha
Against this kind of fire? GTFO, if its gonna hit your house, and it's made of wood, it's not gonna survive.

Didn’t rake the undergrowth enough, I’m sure.
neil137
there's gotta be a foam of some kind you can just spray over the side of your house and yard to temporarily proof it
ElbowDeepInASeahorse
Take pictures of everything for insurance purposes
NoNotHimTheOtherGuy
Videos and pictures. It's amazing what a video will capture that you didn't think to take a picture of.
haIreallysigneduphere
Make sure you have contents coverages. Sometimes the premiums only pay for the home or apt damages and not the contents.
NecroticWords
Tradesman here, will confirm. Pictures are magic. They fuck with you too much, lawyer time. Lawyers scare them.
xj4low
Serial numbers and receipts if you still have them. Grab photos, important documents, hard drives with photos/computers. We pray for you.
TaylorGangMorgan
If someone were to buy insurance now, would it cover tomorrow's fire?
ElbowDeepInASeahorse
No. There's gotta be some clause in the contract banning this type of behavior

Just lost my house to a flood. I wish you well and I'll pray your life gets as close to normal as it can be as soon as possible

I know Utah just sent a good amount of rigs and fire fighters to help. They should get started today. I’m sure other states are there too.
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
Other countries have been know to send help as well
Askingforafriend37
Wow my state did something decent? Color me impressed!

Yanno, I will never understand people who live in CA & have lost at least one house to a fire when it happens every year. Like, I’d do every
alpacasaurusrex
thing I could to get out of fire alley. It would probs be less hassle in the long run. I get some people can’t, but if you lose your house
alpacasaurusrex
1x a year then spend a few weeks-months homeless w/ no belongings.. how is that better financially. Idk.

When I had to evacuate my house because massive fires were 1000ft from my house I got a write up for not giving enough notice on my call out
summershank
I hope your insurance doesn’t try to screw you and that your family is safe
TeishaTaisha
Good luck! I know my parents just got power back, and my brother just got his evacuation lifted.

Dont worry too much. I lost my house and all of my belongings to Hurricane Harvey. You can always replace materials, not your loved ones.
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
Well.. Get as much of your favorite shit as ya can carry and live life on the road! ?

Serious question: why not turn on sprinklers around your house to make sure the area is wet before the fire approaches?
StarrBK201
Myself and my aircraft are working our butts off for you. God bless. Be safe

Take a quick video walking around your home and get as much stuff recorded. It will come in handy for insurance and proving you owned it.
Scar1203
I'm assuming you're towards Calistoga if you just evacuated. Should be fine. Winds are calmer and half of cal fire is here.
kt1982mt
As others have already said, please stay safe and let us know that you're okay!

This is why you need to burn parts of your house slowly over time so it builds an immunity to bigger fires.
TedBuckley
I did a lol
UncleBiscuits
Vaccinate your house.
Contracepted
Or legit controlled burn a large patch of land around your house so it has a fire break
ImgursLibertarian
That sounds funny, but for undergrowth, grasses, and debris it is true.
StarkRG
You're thinking of bullets. For fires it's apparently turn off all the lights, I guess it thinks nobody's home so it goes elsewhere.
Inarticulated
Yes. Charcoal is the best choice to fight fire with.
babypotato
Blow up your neighbors houses and leave all sprinklers running,also open up fire hydrants
ImUglyIRL
Checkmate Vaxxers!
boatymcboatfaceplant
You can also set your neighbors houses on fire in a controlled manner so the big fire is deprived of fuel and doesn't spread to yours!
Datsinginguy
So dark! Not saying I wouldn’t do it, just saying it’s dark.
boatymcboatfaceplant
At first, sure. Once the fires take hold though that shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Thanks, you two. Real belly laugh on that one.

As someone who also lives in a fire danger zone, I should not have laughed as hard as I did...

No, they just need to rake their house.

Laughing like an idiot here. And if I doesn’t work, blame the socialists.

Good thing we shut off the power then

Post tomorrow so we know you are safe. Good luck.

Our area was threatened by huge fires a couple years back, I was amazed they were able to protect the homes, not a single one burned. GL OP

70mph winds here today, California is on fire - fortunately I'm in an area that can't burn. Be safe @op
korvazor
honestly, when is California not on fire anymore?
puddin151
Start running your sprinklers continuously, it worked for a homeowner in Kansas when wildfires threatened their house
obviouslyreadnotfakeatalltrustmeIamagravedigger
PG&E cut off power to many places so the water pumps are not working in a lot of places.
puddin151
So people aren't getting running water to their homes? If they are you can manually turn on sprinklers at valve boxes

I hope that guy’s insurance agent bought him a beer.
CharliePapaBravo
No, no, no. If everyone leaves their sprinklers on, it wastes the water, leaving less for firefighters. Also a fire will evaporate 1/?
CharliePapaBravo
small streams/surface water well before the main fire gets there. Follow advice on defensible space and leave the water for the pros. 2/?
CharliePapaBravo
to effectively defend you're home. Source, been a California wildland firefighter since 93. 3/3
puddin151
what if you are using well water for your irrigation?
CharliePapaBravo
Firefighters will use many water sources: pools, wells, tanks, hoses, etc. The fact is, sprinklers are about useless in structure defense.

CharliePapaBravo
Please notice nowhere does it say to leave your sprinklers on.
ImageAberration
It's generally a good idea to hose down your roof and run yard sprinklers before evacuating (time permitting), but...
ImageAberration
...we don't all have underground sprinklers, our own well, and a generator.
CharliePapaBravo
No, it isn't. Before a fire front gets to the home, the single digit humidity and winds will have dried any sprinkled water. Keep 1/?
CharliePapaBravo
your house cleared to defensible space standards , get out, and leave the water for the firefighters. 2/?

Sugarcrotch
so what state are you in that closes schools on fire days?
MoreButterForMyHam
Southern California. Fast moving fire, spreading thanks to hurricane force winds
ShadeEmberi
isnt everyday fire day in cali?
tcgl
No, just the entire month of October and part of November.

xDragmirex
Maybe hose down the yard and house really well? Like soak the crap out of it. I read a story a while back about how a wet yard either saved
CharliePapaBravo
Just no. https://www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/get-ready/defensible-space/
Serkus
http://www.californiachaparral.org/bprotectingyourhome.html this says soaking reduces stray embers catching. Not prevent it. So some > none?
CharliePapaBravo
Please notice that says with an independant water supply.
xDragmirex
Someone’s house or at least minimized the damage. Assuming it doesn’t have time to dry up first...
TeishaTaisha
That wouldn't do much against the 90 mph winds that were going in in california. Fires were starting up to two miles away.
ItzEdInYourBed
nah, the temperature of the fire is too damn high, the water evaporates when the fire touches it. I was affected by Saddlerridge fire.
