⚠️ Primary Risk Signals
Isolated location
Long ETA (14 min) and distance (7.3 mi)
Limited initial water supply — confirm tanker arrival and rural hydrant status
Wooded exposures on all sides
Fire spread to brush/timber if roof/eaves breach
Control perimeter and protect adjacent vegetation

Fire will push northeast toward tree line
Monitor upwind exposures and tree crowns
🔥 Fire Behavior Cue
