We are getting a lot of calls from panic buyers. Sadly, we can't deliver the Thermo-Gel Home Fire Protection kits fast enough to save the homes. Overnight shipping is very expensive and many times the roads are closed and delivery is not allowed. It takes 5-7 days for ground delivery.
As I watched news coverage of the Big Sur fire, they profiled one homeowner loading her car with possessions due to a voluntary evacuation. She said," We can't do anything now. It's out of our hands. We just have to pray."
The point here is that there was something that she could have done. In the time it took to load her car with possessions, she could have sprayed Thermo-Gel fire retardant on her home using a water hose. Or the firemen could apply it with their equipment if she had it available. This product saves lives and property.
Hopefully, we can find some enterprising contractors who are willing to buy the equipment needed to apply the Thermo-Gel and then provide a service to the homeowners in their area.
The other problem with the evacuation was Hwy. one. The only way out north or south was blocked with traffic.
