The article expressed that the fire was lower risk, slow moving. Nobody was hurt. Seems like the evacuation was a success. Hopefully those cars are packed full with all the irreplaceable items and memories from their homes as well as their pets.

Fuck cars and car centric lifestyle, but this is one situation where any alternative seems less efficient
