If a wildfire is known to be in the area, you have a choice. “Should I stay or should I go?” Deciding one way or the other dictates your next options.

Pros And Cons

There are arguments to support either position.

• Stay and you risk a fire, but you also keep your property safe from looters and vagrants who may be moving through at-risk communities looking for easy pickings.
• Leave to stay safe and you may miss a big disaster, or you may be heading out in paranoia, putting your family through unnecessary discomfort.

It will be up to you and your family to decide what’s best under the circumstances.
