The dilemma

Rae has a tractor and a plough that can cut a firebreak. You have a pump, a water trailer, and a roof you spent nine years paying for. She says the crews are stretched too thin to come this far out, so the road has to hold itself. She wants to start at the top, at the Kellers' place, people you have never once spoken to, and work down. "House to house, {{NAME}}, or we lose the road," she says. Below you, a county engine slows at the Ridge Road turn, then drives on past. That is the second time today.

Your options

1. Start at the Kellers' place with Rae and work down the road in order, your own house last.
2. Stay on your own roof and soak everything your hose can reach.
3. Drive your water trailer to the shared pump house and wet it down, so the hydrants keep working for the whole road.
