Sesnon Wildfires Crossing Freeway

After having to deal with numerous California Firestorm Mandatory Evacuations, LIFE (human & your pets) are the most important to save when you hit the ground running. Plastic medium to large lidded boxes (with handles) or suitcases are easy accessible & preferable for most of the above. There really is no excuse not to be ready if you live in a fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado or any disaster red flag zone. BE PREPARED!


Sesnon Wildfires Sparks Raining

This is the second 2008 Southern California Firestorm & we had another Mandatory Evacuation. We were ready to leave with our fur babies if our surrounding property & house caught fire. We did not leave this time. We watered down all the burning embers & saved our home from any harm including looters. The police arrested five thieves in our area.


Sesnon Wildfires House Under Seige

The house & pool are black from soot & we are sick from smoke inhalation, even though we had been wearing breathing safety masks. We're exhausted & depressed by the on going battle against the elements & those horrible people that take advantage of victims by burglarizing their neighborhoods. We have brown & black outs because the DWP lost electrical transformers & the noncompliance with conserving energy during these emergency times.


Southern California Wildfires Helicopter Water Drop

If you hit the ground running the above list(s) are imperative for survival. Especially if it were several days before you could get back to your home or if God forbid you lost everything.


Southern California Wildfires Quebec 1 Fire Retardant Drop

We SALUTE the exhausted FIRE DEPARTMENTS & POLICE DEPARTMENTS that valiantly risked their lives to help save our communities from completely succumbing to devastation.


Southern California Wildfires Smoky Malibu Sunset

If anyone has other suggestions on this topic please leave a comment(s).

Our hearts & prayers go out to those that lost their life, pets, homes & possessions.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE ESPECIALLY OUR HEROIC FIRE FIGHTERS!

My TOP TEN LISTS are my holiday gifts to all!
HOPE EVERYONE HAD A BEAUTIFUL THANKSGIVING


BRIGHT BLESSINGS, HAPPY & SAFE HOLIDAYS,
Lyndy & Tom Ward (Our Fur Babies Too)

Happy Holidays Lyndy! Thank you for your sweet post. Good to hear from you and so happy to hear you managed to escape the horrific wild fires. Always a tragedy. I'm originally from So. Cal so I know how those Santa Ana winds can wreak havoc.

To answer your question, I no longer have the Holiday Queen Toy site.

Wishing you all the best this Holiday season!

Hi Lyndy ~

Your photos are amazing, and very scary....I remember the wildfires well from our time in southern California. Great advice about planning for an evacuation!

So glad to hear you're all OK after this terrible experience, and sending you wishes for a happy and blessed holiday season!

Thanks for the list Lyndy. As you know, living in California means you're likely to have fires and/or earthquakes. So, I better get a kit together!! Great tips! Have a nice holiday. Hugs...Iva
