There is also an electrical sub-panel located in the shop house directly north of the residence. The sub-panel is fed by an underground feeder circuit routed from the main electrical panel. For the purposes of this report, the front of the residence faces north. INTERVIEW Don and Brandi Taylor On February 20, 2021, Don and Brandi Taylor were interviewed, and the following information was obtained: • On September 7, 2020, at 3:00 p.m., the Taylors were forced to evacuate their home located at 49930 North Santiam Highway in Idanha, Oregon, due to the encroachment of an area wildfire. On September 8, 2020, at 8:00 a.m., their home lost power. • Around September 21, 2020, the Taylors were allowed by local authorities to return to the home under a special exception arrangement, but only for 30-45 minutes to gather additional belongings before having to re-evacuate. During the brief stay, they noticed the encroachment of flames near the west side of their home while nearby firefighters were actively engaged in putting out the area fire. • Approximately one week later, around the end of September 2020, the evacuation order was lifted, and the Taylors were allowed to return home. Upon their return, they noticed that the trees located on the west side of the home had been extensively burned and thinned out. Their 860-gallon propane tank, which was also located on the west side of the home, had vacuum-sealed itself due to the intensity of nearby heat produced by the wildfire.
