I live in a new place now where I only get the smoke, not the flames. It about killed me, but in the last 3 months I've moved every pound of ammo, bullets, powder, primers, weapons I own. Twice. But just as I start to get to feeling sorry for myself, I see what so many of my neighbors have lost and I feel a pang of well earned guilt. And our firefighters...I don't even know what to say. The heroics are now routine. But I can tell you the next time a bond measure comes up to raise money for our firefighters, I will be in the front row of that meeting and I 'effing dare anyone to voice objection. There isn't a mechanism that would allow for recognizing what they're trying to do for us. Thanks usabaker for checking in. Good people on this board.
I have a lot more experience than expertise, still have both eyes and most of my fingers though.

Glad to hear you are safe and in a new place, Hope you didn't lose anything at your last place. The fires get worse and worse ever two years and it seems just as thing return to "normal" which I don't know is anymore, fires burn everything down again. I hear you on our first responders. Thank you to all the firefighters and National Guard from other states and countries.

When people ask where we live, I always tell them between hurricane alley and refinery row. Although hurricanes truly s%ck, I'd much prefer the 3 day warning over an out of control fire. I just finished reading "Fires in Paradise" and it was a very eye opening read. Stay safe!

I feel your pain I just got home from 5 days of evacuation. moving the collection is tiring but it`s safe. I was ready to bury it if I couldn`t get it out. A few inches of soil will protect better than any fire safe. Thank God your safe and the collection is secure.
