The San Diego Fires

why in the world would anyone refuse to evacuate for a fire? Its not like you just climb up to the second floor to avoid it like you can with water...

Latest report on NBC says 8-10k at QUALCOMM. I only live a few miles do.wn the road so I might swing by to see if I can volunteer

Well yeah, but if the evacuation zone is unreasonably large I could see some out of a group of tens of thousands saying "eff it, that thing is never going to reach me", particularly if they have nowhere to go, e.g. are elderly or infirm.

my GF's parents live in the evac zone (in the picture). how crazy is it down there right now? Should i call them or just email them?

if you know exactly where they live you can go to www.cbs8.com and google map all the streets they know of that have burned houses and compare that. the closer they live to major streets/freeways and the further west they are the better.

Why would the A/C keep the smell of fire out? Doesn't it draw air from the outside to use?
