We Had To Eveacuate For a Fire
I can't help but wonder how many people out there have had to evacuate their homes, in February, for a forest fire! Amazing... Rain, snow, 55+ mph winds and fire? Interesting combo!
The Department of Forestry in my area, Mt. Shasta CA, was doing a "control" burn last week that went way out of control, jumped a major highway, and burned over 700 acres and a home! Thankfully, that home wasn't our home, but we did have to evacuate for the day on Sunday and wonder if our home would burn before the rains started coming down to put it out.
The interesting thing is this is the second time we have had to evacuate in the last 4 years. The first fire burned up to our property line and our property was saved by the wonderful men and women of CDF and the USFS.
Anyway, back to frugal living! :) It's going to be March tomorrow. Do you have a budget in place? Have you planned how you will save and spend your income next month?
