This has been an interesting fire season for us. Our town had 2 wildfires while the Santa Ana winds were blowing last week.
Day 1 had an evacuation area that surrounded the school I work at. Literally our side of the street wasn’t evacuated but directly across and to the west of us was under mandatory evacuation. It sure did make releasing students interesting!
Day 2 had an evacuation warning at the house. We got the cell phone alert at 3:30 am. Thankfully it wasn’t mandatory. I think they do that in case the wind shifts, which it didn’t.
Hopefully that is the end of it for us for a while. Our last mandatory evacuation was about 25 years ago. Flames got within 100 feet of the house that time.
Decluttering the Stuff 
Wow! I’m so glad everything was well at your house, and school! I know those are devastating.

my poor students were beside themselves. Thankfully, the wind was not blowing a majority of the smoke at us.

Fire season is horrible. Even if you’re lucky enough to not be near a fire, you could still end up with smoke and ash everywhere.
