Fire Evac Help Thread

Figured this is a good thread only for those who can help; let's keep anything else in the other two threads.

Right now, I could use someone with a motorcycle trailer. We're getting ready to start moving things to a friends house in Calhan.

I'm hauling our camper with my FJ, and it's the only vehicle with a 2" ball.

I don't have time to worry about travelling 70 miles and wasting time to rent one.

I'm stepping away to move stuff. Willyswagon has my cell phone number, if anyone might be able to help with a motorcycle trailer.

Does it run? I am sure one of us could ride it. If it is a dirt bike it would only take 2 people to get it in a pickup bed.

Thanks for the offer, everyone. With this major wind shift, we're okay right now. Dropped the camper and one vehicle at a friends house. I might ride the bike over, but given the forecast, we should be alright.

Let's just hope that Colorado_Outback and the other BF member are alright.

I'm in Parker and have an empty F150 w/ topper and a 5x8' trailer with a ramp and set up with 2 motorcycle chocks. I can also grab a 16' flat bed trailer with ramps, bumper mount.

Time to go, My families Thoughts and Prayers are with you and yours

At work we've been checking the website hourly and his home hasn't been listed. He has only been in the home for nine months, but at least he was able to evacuate his family safely. He can always build/buy another home...

This is true, PM LippCJ7 for more info. He can tell you first hand the condition of the structure last time he saw it..

Best wishes to your buddy and his family.
