It has been worrying me. All the pets that must have been left behind because people were not at home when the evacuation started.
I do hope that the survival rate is high.
Although we are not in an area where such a fire is likely, it has made me review our own fire plan. We have solid fuel heating so there is always a fire lit for water heating etc, so it is something we have planned for. I have a large plastic box of wood shavings under the pen and it would take only moments to pop the piggies in. There's also a bag of hay at both the back and front doors. They are part of the normal stock I keep for the piggies, but at least one bag is "stored" beside the doors. They are used up and replaced so it is always fresh. God forbid we should ever have find ourselves in that situation but i hope I'm ready to take the piggies with me.
