I hope it's OK to post this here:

9. I have a nice house but was willing to let it burn to the ground as long as my animals

are safe. One of the things I did by staying here was walk around and then calling owners to tell them the status of their house. They were much appreciative but I know they'd do it for me if the shoe was on the other foot. The fire department saw me walking around and told me I had to stay on my own property as a condition of no evacuating. When he told me this I thought "tell it to a 68-year old who cares!"
