This is a sad but very important Wildfire Lesson from The Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center.

The recent fire around the high school ( I don't recall the name of the fire or school). The school had only one road in/out to the school. This could have been disaster waiting to happen. In any area with a possibitlity of wild fire there should be multiple ways in and out to prevent persons being trapped in a wild fire.
