Questions:
1.) If you were asked to leave your home because of a wildfire nearby, what would your reaction be?
2.)If you were the man who saw the fire first what would you do?
My Answers:
1.) If I were asked to leave my home because of a wildfire, I would be really scared and upset because even though I could evacuate, my house and belongings could possibly be ruined or burned. I also know that it would be hard on my family because we would have to pay to fix our house and replace some of our items that were lost.
2.) If I was the first one to see the fire, I would call 911 first to get some help, and then I would try to warn my family and as many of my neighbors as I could, I would also try to grab a few really valuable things out of my house to save if I had time, but I would rather focus on the safety of the people around me.

Great job Abby!
I would definitely leave my home is officials said I had too, but I would also be extremely scared and a little upset because if the fire spreads more it could ruin my home and many irreplaceable belongings. If I was the first one to see the flames I would contact 911. Then I would warn as may people as I could and maybe start packing together valuable things in case I need to evacuate.
I would grab some of the more important things that can't be replaced from the house and then leave. I would call 911 then leave to go warn my family and the neighbors.
I think warning the neighbors and the people around the area is a good way to help keep people safe so they know what is happening and so they can be prepared to leave the area.
i would get outa dodge as fast as i could. materialistic things can be replaced but a family cant. i would see if i cant put it out, or i would call 911 and tell them about it. and leave shortly thereafter.
1) I'd immediately pack a few belongings and leave asap.
2) If I was the man i'd call authorities then leave my house.
I would definitely leave my home because I would listen to the people in charge and leave my home. If I saw the fire first i would call 911 and i would hope many people would do this to keep it from spreading to homes.
It is definitely a good idea to always listen to the law enforcement because they know what to do for the situation to keep everyone as safe as possible.
I would be very scared and worried. I probably wouldn't believe it at first and not know how to respond. If I was the first person to see it I would get really concerned and call for help. I would try to get away as fast as I could and warn others around me.
I agree, it would be unbelievable because I would never think that would happen to me.
