Fire and evacuation California living

We had a little excitment last night. I was working in the garage, when I heard the helicopters, and sirens. I stepped out to here the police helicopter telling us to grab a few valuebles, and evacuate. I grabbed the dirtbike, the computer, and our personal files. I eventualy went back for the wife. :)
We went to a friends house, and watched the action unfold on TV. From his rooftop, we also watched the aireal show of tanker planes, helicopters (news, fire dept. and police) over our still standing house. "S", "K" and I were able to go back after an hour. "A" was with friends.
In a flash you have to decide what is important, and what you really need. We grabbed a change of clothes, and the dog. I do have some pictures to share of what we saw, and what us, and the nieghbor grabbed.

We pulled back in after the evacuation, the nieghbor had pulled the BMW in front of our driveway, but you can see what I grabbed














Smoke still visible when we returned
