Starting to worry abit

Here in the BC interior we have multiple wild fires around us. I have been told the area I live in will be giving a evacuation alert as early as tomorrow. While trying to keep the kids calm and understanding of what is happening we are now packed up and ready for the worst.

@Retapnevets oh shit!!!! 😳... As far as fires are concerned... Thats close.
Fire travels FAST! It could do that distance in less than an hour..
Stay alert man.. You might have to evacuate sooner.
Keep an eye on the wind direction.
If it shifts your way... Get ready to get out

How old are your kids?

@MrBrownstone oh ya you can smell it no problem.

Kids are 11 and 13.

I have enough water and food to last 3days easy.
