As Fires Consumed California, Small Towns Organized Their Own Defense

If you live in a national forest in California, odds are pretty high that at some point or another you’ve been ordered to evacuate.

In Indian Valley, for the first twelve days, many of our residents did indeed evacuate, but a significant number stayed behind. Some residents had livestock to look after and often no solid indication of where they could take their animals that wouldn’t also need to be evacuated soon. With so many towns evacuating at once, some didn’t want to stay in evacuation shelters where the lights would be on all day and night and the likelihood of catching COVID was high.
