Getting on like a house on fire

Okay, maybe it's tacky that I used that tag for this post but just wanted to let everyone know that as of right now, we are fine. We are still at home and looks like we will be here tonight.
The fires are erratic and unpredictable. The fires are about 10-20 miles from here depending on which direction you're facing. There are some voluntary evacuations on the other side of base, but as far as I know, there are no fires on Camp Pendleton at this time.
I have packed up some essentials and irreplaceables. They're by the door; I don't want to pull the car around back b/c I'd have to open the garage door which might wake the baby. We just have to toss them in the trunk and go.
If we have to go anywhere, we will first go to the beach which is about a mile away. If that doesn't work, then we'll head north.
I really don't think that we will need to evacuate at all during the next three days. But, as a parent, I no longer have the luxury of thinking in terms of immortality. I'm just being prepared in case I hear PMO (military police) over the loud speaker at 2am.
If you need to contact us, please first try email. I'm on the computer constantly right now. If that doesn't get an immediate enough reply, either call my landline or text me. Try not to use my cell number if possible; they are requesting that we keep cell use to a minimum.
I will keep you posted as best I can...
I should be studying for my CSET right now, so I'm going to hop off the comp for a little while while I take notes/watching the scrolling news on TV.
Don't worry about us---NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!
