Time for an annual RT:
A refresher on how to open one of the most common types of residential garage doors without power (the type with a manual pull cord)
The best time to learn what type of garage door you have and how to open it is BEFORE you are under mandatory evacuation!
A handy internet guide for manually opening a garage door that is stuck closed for anyone preparing to evac who has already lost power (easily reversible later too if you come back to an unharmed home). Best when done by 2 adults #SaddleridgeFire#CAfire#Sylmar

Do NOT return to your home after an emergency until local authorities say it is safe. Be careful near damaged buildings when you do. Leave your home if you hear shifting or strange noises. They could mean the building is about to fall. More: https://t.co/cjGKn7PB3u. #Ian
