There's a handful of videos circulating of these things. I ran across them a while back while searching for footage of a particularly nasty "normal" tornado that swept through the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware of it, but from reports from the bombings of Hamburg, Tokyo, and Dresden. So if you were ever wondering what it was like to live through a good old-fashioned WWII firebombing...yeah, this is pretty much it.

It would really bother me to know (as I am sure is happening) that people would go towards one of these and risk their lives knowingly for any number of any animals.

We have horses and alpacas, and have an “in-case” evac plan and we live in GA. Not wildfire central but not unheard of. Someone with a large barn/boarding contingent would be looking at more than half a dozen trips if they didn’t have multiple rigs to move the animals.

For one of my certifications I must provide contingency plans for emergencies like this, one of my options is that I track my animals all the way to Buffalo. You have to have plans in the ability to haul your animal over 200 miles away if there is a true disaster. I have the resources to do so only when I rely on others. 1 minute ago, whatdrought said: Meaning? Meaning that some choose to face the danger and risk and some don't.

Kevbeau Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think most commercial/semi commercial operations would have to rely on others. You would know better than me. We have a semi-local option (60miles away) and then the western New York option (900 miles) I would hope the folks in CA had such plans in place. Hence my comment to Tom on how much notice would they get. As as a side note, we used to take in horses being evacuated from hurricane zones, but had too many people that just abandoned them afterwards. I get that they may have had larger issues to deal with, but now we only provide harbor for people we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hard to argue an animals life for a human life, but I also realize that in the discussed conversation it isn't specifically a 1 for 1 trade, but rather an attempt at saving the animals with an acceptable risk to the human.
