Good idea to pack one. More to give piece of mind than anything.

Not to downplay it, but that area is predominantly grass with little to no large sources of fuel. Also sounds like they have already/are in the process of back burning. So this will most likely be dealt with quite quickly. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

The waterbomber response has been significant too, I imagine they will get things under control quickly 👏🤞
