Flathead Wildfire Prep — free Ridge Line Cabin sample

A filled-in peek at the printable planning checklist: know-your-place, go-bag excerpt, Red Flag same-day actions, and a guest tear-off. Demo only — Ridge Line Cabin is fictional. Planning tool, not firefighting advice.

Official orders win. This sample does not predict fire movement or replace Flathead County / local fire / law-enforcement alerts. If authorities say go, go.
