Listen, listen, listen to rescuer’s warnings! When they say evacuate……EVACUATE!
When people don’t listen to the warnings and choose to ride out fires and storms, they put rescuers in danger if they have to get them out. And they could face second degree murder or manslaughter charges if any rescuers are ever hurt or die during such a rescue attempt. Over the weekend, three people who refused to evacuate were burned when they were overrun by flames, including a couple who had sought refuge in a hot tub. Additionally, five people who refused to evacuate threatened areas reported they were trapped at a ranch near Gold Creek in Los Angeles County. A helicopter was unable to immediately reach them because of the intense fire activity.
There are thousands of homes in harms way and many more people needing assistance until these fires can be put out. All the more reason for being prepared in advance because you never know when it’s your turn. Disaster Recovery Supply offers assistance in preparedness before possible evacuations and offers a 72-hour Emergency Evacuation Survival Kit. Remember, it’s better to be five years early then five minutes too late!
