In another heated discussion in another thread you started out as identifying yourself as PIO and as your behavior became mean and vicious and disgraceful then you said you were only giving your personal opinion. All using the same nic. So I am confused.
BTW I would rather confront you online and give you an opportunity to respond. If others choose to contact ECFD regarding your disgraceful behavior that is there right. I declined to participate.
Now for some comments regarding the above post. Thank you for the above post regarding the wildfire season even though it was a Platte Canyon FD issue. I would expect to hear from them rather than Elk Creek. Nevertheless the link Ready, Set, Go, while good in its message, fails to address that hardening your home and wildfire mitigation around a home may not make one bit of difference as was evident in the Lower North Fork Fire where several on Kuehster Rd had done the above. With that in mind I would really appreciate learning from you why it is important to leave anyway and early.
Thank you.
The FIRST bolded.....there are NO guarantees in life. You (collectively) can be pro-active,
prepare for disaster and HOPE that nature is kind this time around....Nature is unpredictable,
vicious one moment and benevolent the next...it is the price you pay to live on this orb.
The SECOND bolded.....that decision is such a very personal choice....HOWEVER, the
SmartPhone video of the family FRANTICALLY fleeing for their very lives...with trees igniting
into fireballs on all sides,as they were disparately traveling down the "feeder road" out of their
subdivision......was/is a GRAPHIC reminder that life is fragile and nature does NOT discriminate.
JMO......
Thanks HA. I am always amazed at those who choose to stay thinking that since they mitigated that they are safe. Some near the Kuehster area, not in the immediate Lower North Fork burn area, refused to leave.
