Sad to hear that some of animals had to be killed. I'm a volunteer with a no kill shelter here.Thanks guys for your wishes. Very much appreciated. I have been away over the weekend and have come back, the fires on the hill having not flared up again, thankfully. As a precaution I packed some essentials into my car in case they did!
A big problem with the fire out on the hills is animals and livestock that has been evacuated, some of which have had to be exterminated in the face of the fire, which is sad. I volunteer at the local SPCA and we were meant to go help with shepherding animals at a holding point on Friday when the fires happened, so I didn't get to go because of the threat of evacuating myself. I'm about to find out if I'm needed for animal work...
Agree, alot of safes look good but their heat ratings and amount of time they can withstand the heat are very important.Things like external hinges don't help and I'm not a fan of battery operated combo locks.When selecting a fireproof safe, be sure to read the specs closely and research the best location for placement.
Max. temps and resistance duration at peak temps is important - many safes (both personal safes and gunsafes) failed during our recent Camp and Carr fires because of the intensity of the fires.
