The doorbell rings around 3am. Who is it but our friendly neighbourhood police notifying us of a fire in the next subdivision and that we're on evacuation alert. My brothers and I have been running around packing photos, important documents, etc and making a mental list of what to throw in the car if it changes from an alert to an order.
I think we have most things ready to go if need be. It's hard though. What do you take? Obviously things that aren't replaceable but aside from those things. I just keep thinking of more things that would be nice to have if I have the time to take them. What would you take?
I'm going to try and go back to sleep. If I don't get evacuated I still have to go to work tomorrow... err.. today. Story of my life.
UPDATE: It's now 10:30am, and the 50.0 hectare fire is about 80% contained. The winds are now working in favour of the firefighters.
