Middle School Student Interview with Parent
“I did”
“What did you pack or bring with you when you evacuated?”
“Very little. Most important was gathering
you, my kiddo, and the dog. And I had a bag that I threw my passport in, and
some money, and then Levi reminded me that I should bring some clothes, so I
grabbed that, a little bit of that, and um, I think I brought my guitar.”
“Ohh”
“So, I was not prepared to evacuate. I brought
random things.”
“Where did you go? Where did you evacuate to?”
“We drove to Grants Pass and stayed with my ex-husband.”
“When were you notified about the fire, or did
you find out on your own?”
“I was at work in Ashland, and my coworkers
told me about it, and they were warning me that I might end up having to
evacuate. And so, they sent people home early, and I remember struggling to get
home to Talent to get you.”
“How far were you expecting the fire to
spread?”
“I had no idea. In fact, it started to feel
like there were fires on all sides of us. When we were in Grants Pass there
were some down south, some more up north, it was scary.”
“What do you remember most about the fire?”
“The feeling of being horrified that I wasn’t
going to be able to get home to get you out.”
“Was anything of yours destroyed by the fire?”
“Everything in the fridge and freezer had to
get thrown out because the power went out.
“Oh nooo”
“The power was down for a week I think, but
that was it.”
“What do you think was your overall experience
with the whole fire?
“It was horrifying, and it was eye opening to
realize how anything can happen at any time.”
“Well…I think that answers all the questions!
Thank you, mom!”
“You’re welcome, Rowen”
