[QUOTE="primeoflife321, post: 1912945, member: 4956"] Like most of us, I really thought these things happen to other people. On a quiet morning this past Labor Day, things changed forever in an instant. Here is the video of my house and everything in it burning [url]http://www.kjrh.com/dpp/news/local_n...nd-sparks-fire[/url] The reason I am writing this post is to bring attention to the reality of these situations, and I hope that my experience can help someone else be prepared The Go Bag- I wish I had made a serious one (not just a sort of kinda one that I had lying around somewhere) If I did, i would know from that day what I needed to pack it with: Extra Meds (squirrel away a few pills a month and soon you will have a nice supply) Extra Phone (a GO! phone or something like this [url]http://spareone.com/spareone/spareone-emergency-phone[/url]) Copy of contact phone numbers Clothes for a few days/ toothbrush Copy of a CC statement (top portion) with CC number and phone number of CC company on it Copy of DL/passport/birth certificate Copy of SDA card Extra pair of old glasses/contacts old shoes/sneakers Ladder for a 2-story home (I had one) Water hose is best used for wetting downwind neighbors house. It is totally useless on a raging house fire. Bruce Willis is in the movies. My neighbor and I tried to go back in and retrieve my wifes purse when the smoke was coming out the front door. We made it 2 steps in then reality hit. It CAN happen to you.... Reuben [/QUOTE]
