(1) I did say swimming pool for water source
(2) I think any attempt to save my homestead would be one worth the effort... I hope I would be smart enough to have a clear zone around my dwelling, a steel or tile roof, wetted down to help with flying embers, and no decorative wood trim, and no I don't plan on being there when the fire storm arrives...but I sure want to have given it my best shot to protect my home and property before I leave.
