Amazing - a picture is worth a 1000 words, and apparently 10,000 armchair quarterback assumptions!! (and you know what they say about assumptions)
This is a storage facility, so some of these owners are not even in town to try and hook up their RVs to move them.
This facility was near the start of the fire, and fires here move VERY quickly driven by 35mph winds with single digit humidity. The first indication these owners probably had was watching their rigs burn down on the morning news, if they were up that early. Fire started before 7am.
Not all the RVs at this facility burned, about half of them were saved, due to a bit of luck and the firefighters efforts.
Why were they not saving homes? Because this facility was one of the first things to go, and at that time the fire was not completely out of control and threatening communities.
It is a sad sight to see anyone lose something they have worked for. These people and everyone impacted by the fire will be in my prayers.
