Pete nailed it. Be pro-active and make your place defensible. Cut brush, move wood piles and saturate the area with your sprinklers. Remember, it has been a LONG season and the fire fighters are tired. If you make it easy for them to save yours they will focus on the "easy win" and work to save it.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Try to show the crew your pump setup in case you bail and they go to your place. Leave gas at your pump so they can refuel it to keep your sprinklers running. Stay out of the smoke (if you can!) you’ll get copd from it.
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Amen, the fire boss landed by chopper at my cabin today to let me know I am out of immediate danger....the rain knocked the fire way back and some more is forecast....he inspected my sprinklers and said not to take them down for a week or so
Thanks for the prayers and advice

Any update? I hope everything worked out ok for you, 10mi is scary close with a big fire and high winds. I hope they got the fire under control with the rain.
When I grow up I want to be a real mountain man.
