we had a fire in the lab here at work, and thankfully an ex-firefighter was working at the time and he put it out with an extinguer. we all good practical, real world, actually put out different kinds of fire training after that.
caused me to up my fire protection, i have ABC 20lbs fire bottles in the kitchen, the rest of the house and the garage. i have foam extinguisher in the garage too.
first thing to do is remove the fuel if you can, second thing is to fight the fire, again, if you can, and third thing is to remove yourself, your loved ones, and valuables, in that order.
we dont get much natural disasters, but when civil order was lost here, we didnt leave. we united with our neighbors, and figured out a counter plan, reestablished safety, and got everyone what they needed. which is probably what we would do in the event of some kind of natural disaster. prep isnt worth much, pooled resources and community is far more important.
