Winter, 1953 - 1954: Fire

Anais Nin looks out the window and sees the mountains behind the house in Sierra Madre on fire. Horses are lead out, and old people from isolated cabins are rescued. She makes coffee and provides blankets to evacuees and rescuers. Her main concern is packing the diaries for evacuation.

Besides making sure people and pets are safely out, what would you pack for evacuation from a fire? Of course, it depends on how much time you have. Forest fires in the western U.S. come with more advance notice than a fire in your home or apartment. Even so, what is most important to you? What would you save?
