What appears totally safe one minute can turn into a towering inferno in a minute.
70 thousand people were right there and thought they were safe. How can someone hundreds of miles away know more then the people on the front lines, simply by reading a few posts on social media?
Then there is the chain of command. Which one of you would want to be the one who ordered 70 thousand people to leave their homes knowing it may not be necessary?
I would trust my life to the men and women fighting that fire, they got everyone out in time, that in itself is a testament to their professionalism.

Absolutely the men and woman did a great job, and will continue to exceed expectations in order to get all out, fight tooth the nails to take the dragon on.
I too have been involved with unexpected flare ups in which we fought our way out and we learnt from those decisions.
I was just saying that the masses as individuals need to take care of themselves first then and only then can they take care of others and make the transition out of town easier.
As soon as your area is put on alert, jugs of water, food,clothes, shelter, vehicle all,filled up, spare gas etc all packed and cherished valuables. Ready to bug out
And go before the masses move.
Preparation is the key, hope all are safe, doors will open and things will get better.
Stay safe all.
