In the event of an evacuation

    We live near Bray Head and there's a raging gorse fire happening there at the moment, it's way worse than I've seen in many years.

    Homes nearby have been evacuated and I've googled for a list to take with you in an evacuation. However I'm finding the lists to be very American and based on the assumption that you will return to the house. (I'm assuming the good people with the emergency services will not let the fire destroy any property and if we were to be evacuated we would be returning to our home).

    Howevet, lets say you have 2 hours to get out of your home, it might be destroyed along with everything inside it - what do you bring with you?

    Depends on what will fit in the car. Wallet including cards, passport, drivers' licence, some proof of PPN and address, photo albums, tablet, phone, clothes, shoes, toiletries, insurance policies, birth certs, details of any savings or investments, any prescribed medication, keys, toys for children, pets, any valuables like jewellery or art work



    And the wife.

    put the old fight fire with fire theory to the test?

    In my own house when I had it, and I had 2 hours? TV, PC, PS4, all my POP and gaming figures and memorabilia, the clothes I like, and most of my electronic stuff. I've no attachment to the house or the furnishings, so they can burn, along with the house. I'd also make sure my neighbour was ok, cuz she's got lovely tits!

    In my parents house, i'd make sure they're ok, same as above then.
