Checked map. Already knew risk classification.

CalFire area but 98% of nearby land is National Forest with a Ranger District Office about two miles away, closest CalFire is over an hours drive.

Have been in wildfire smoke the last 5 Summers, in 2023 had sprinklers and hose lays around my home and crews from as far away as FLA and NC parked across the road at foot of driveway and in evacuation warning for nearly two months. Interesting exercise to pack your vehicle with what to save.

No longer have fire insurance as cannot afford. Ill, old and broke as well. Cripes.
