There are things in life one does not get the benefit of advanced notice.
I live basically within the Shenandoah Nation Park and own 40 acres of forest, so I'm no stranger to the dangers of wild fires (and why all my roofs are steel). About 15 years ago we had one within sight of the house, across the street about a mile and a half away, so I get the nervous urge to stay put and protect one's property. But being that area of California is quite dry and has high susceptibility to winds that can cause drastic and rapid changes to wild fires, prudence would dictate to leave the area early and hope for the best.
