In my experience you have to get way out in front of it and do alot of preparation before it gets to you. Kind of like an Alamo, you pick a "good" place to try and stop it and hope it works, if it does not work you have to relocate and try again. In large brush fires there is a lot of "writing off" an area as "already lost" so you can get a head of it and be ready for it. I have been over run by a grass fire before, nothing like what is happening in Bastrop, and the only spot that wasn't burned was our "safe area" we had set up, I was just glad we didn't run out of water to protect ourselves with!Originally posted by Mac...
