Living in the San Diego region, there is the constant warning of preparation for wildfires. What was once referenced as fire “season” has become a year-round timeline.
Rancho San Diego resident Linda Rogers has been keeping her bags ready to evacuate in case of a wildfire. While there have been at least two just in the last few weeks, she has been preparing for decades.
“It’s a little bit of a trigger when you hear the things and you’re sitting in your living room and watching TV and you smell smoke at all, you’re like, I hope that’s someone’s fireplace,” said Rogers. "We’ve definitely experienced it. We’ve been evacuated twice in different fires that were out here. So one thing my husband is really good about is clearing the bank. So he takes his weed wacker down there..." said Rogers.
